I’m not sure what the differance is between last night and tonight…but there sure is!
Went out with Ralfthenoober on P3 last night…we didn’t get close enough to have him sign in on the cottonwood, so that secret is safe…
We set up shop and right as the golden hour approached…the fish showed up like clockwork…at the end of the night our 4 fish would have weighed around 20 lbs…we stayed “another 5 minutes” until …well until it was past my bedtime.
We just kept thinking the next one is going be be momma…but it never happened.
We had a few gar and beaver runs to keep the action going…
Tonight…was a great night…If only MN would be like this everynight!!
I arrived early and tryed some stink bait that a fellow IDA member sent me to try…I found out why they call this stuff stink bait….Man…if you ever want to get rid of some rela-tics that have overstayed their welcome…keep a little of this stuff around to smear on your pants…heck smear it anywhere for that matter!
Anyway…not takers for the stinky stuff…
10 pm and the first fish came in…Dave, I could have used a net person! I found it easier to “lip” him than to handle the rod and the net…he weighed in at 29 and change.
The next on was a real drag yanker. It’s amazing that anything can pull line out of a Garcia 7000 when the drag is cinched tight… 30.x on the digital.
Thought I would call it an early night…so I packed up started the motor and was ready to go..except to bring in the rods…of course, we had to have that last fish of the night tugging at the door…she came in at 12.x.
It was a great night to be on the river…hope there’s more to come!
