Nothing quite like being a good 25 minutes or so worth of rowing to get back to the landing when you realize the outer compartment of your inflatable watercraft is leaking air! Not that I was in any danger of sinking ( I left some gear at home! LOL!) but it does effect what stability might exist…………got me splashed good but didn’t dump! WHEW!!
Anyway, I was back on the Mallelieu today thinking I’d just knock ’em for another loop and ……………..well…………I guess they showed me a thing or 3! Nothing but runts today with the exception of the sunfish. Not as big as yesterday’s but good enough to keep. Numbers went like this:
9-bluegills
1-9″ crappie
7 perch – only one over 7″
3 smallies – all less than 12″
4 largemouth – all less than 11″
That was 8 hours worth of bucking a bit of wind in craft with no motor! Row…….anchor. Row……….anchor……………….Oh well………….do the best with what ya got!
