Good Times
Got to spend the last 2 days fishing, well at least yesterday I put in
some time. I fish from 7am till 6:30pm yesterday. I did manage a limit of smallies and countless dinks, and got into some fun white bass action. My longest smallie yesterday was 18.25, but this fish must have been sick. It barely weighed 2 or 2.5lbs. Beautiful colors, and didn't have a mark on it, but you could see its spine, and its stomach was absolutely collapsed, almost as if it had just spawned! I also caught a 17" fish, that probably went about 3lbs (pictures to follow very soon!). So needless to say yesterday was a fun day. Some friends wanted to wake me up at 5am this morning then to go catch some walleye on the famed Fox River in Green Bay. Well we fished from 6am to 9am (37 degrees this morning with a north wind at 5 to 10mph). So I tortured them by running wide open to our first spot. (I only have a single counsel :-). Well we managed 13 fish in those 3 hours, with the smallest being 16" and the largest being 21 (I caught both of those fish), I managed 7 of the 13, but it would have been a blast either way. You gotta love the fall, big fish eating non-stop, find the baitfish and you find the fish, so far that has held true :-). Chris |

Chris Forgot to mention, one of the walleye I caught this morning was tagged. That is my first tagged fish ever. "Steve" , do you know if I send the tag in to get the info if they will send the tag back? Pretty sweet, Chris |

If you request it, they will send you a report on the fish. Keep the tag for a momento. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
