Well let me start off by saying that this bite rocks I will deffinately be making this a yearly thing. I’d like to start off by saying thanks to george and nitti’s Hunters point resort,( the fish fry was great). My Guide for sunday, and monday was Mike W. We started out on sunday 10/16 on knox point trolling #12 husky jerks. Dubya started off with the firetiger and I went with the clown. It only took 1/2 hour and were on the fish. It was very rough out there on the big pond and I didn’t figure that the 16-1/2′ smoker craft could take the abuse but she weathered it well and we managed to stay dry.
Here is Mike pictured with the only picture worthy eye on Sun. she was a healthy 27-1/4″ we did well over all with a total of 25 fish. Monday was a bit better but it sure didn’t start out that way. It took almost an hour to get the first one. Although after that fish I managed to get my personal best, a fat piggy of 27-1/2″ we were on a roll until about 11pm when it slowed down to a crawl. We then decided to pick up stakes and move to myrmar reef.
It didn’t take long before Dubya hooked up with some nice fish 26-1/2″ and a 26-1/4″ We couldn’t believe it but they were hammering fast and hard.
We were in the typical 8-12 foot range and trolling speeds between 1.5 to 1.9 mph. I also got a nice 26″ and to round out the night with a bonus 37-1/2″ pike. All in all it was an awsome experience and now I’m hooked on this full moon bite. Good Fishing and see ya on the water.
