Well, the boss said we had too much vacation, actually not, but I did have two days to use before the end of the year, soooo – off to the river with one of my co-workers.
9:00am we hit the water and headed towards lock #3 to find three other cold weather fans out fishing. Numbers of fish are possible, smaller fish mixed in with bigger fish etc, the standard for this time of year with many fish in the 16-19″ range.
How was the bite you ask? About the only color I didn’t catch a fish on was pink – had to try – why not they bit on all the other colors today. Our best luck did come on chartruese pepper superdoo and chartruese green glitter. We also caught a number of fish on purple/chartruese paddle tail, green paddle tail, orange and chartruese ring worm. Like I said almost any color we dropped down seemed to be working.
I’m not sure exactly how many fish we caught, guessing between 30-40, let’s call it 40 since this is a fishing story. Two limits of saugers made it home for pan today. We were off the water at about 1:30pm.
A nice way to spend a day of vacation before the end of the year.
Happy New Year to all – Mike
