Default Fisning update

Hi all,
Well I took 2 days off from work this week. Tuesday was a bust
because my refrigerator went south on me and I spent the whole day
cooking food as it thawed out and waiting for the new fridge to be
delivered.

Today was a little better. Thank the Lord I spent good money on
Gortex about 3 weeks ago. It rained all day. I was going to pull
jigs on the Wiscaonsin River but the wind was too strong. I fished
from 10:00am till 2:00pm and came away with 1- 2 1/2 Smallie. Got him
on a power worm in a tuft of grass.

Left the river and went over to Lake Psobic for more fishing. Worked
about 1/2 way around the lake and all I had to show for it was a
couple of small Bluegill. I fish for them with a small beetle spin or
jig while Bass fishing. I got to the area that has quite a few trees
hanging over and many good piers. On one long cast I took time to
change speed and direction of the boat and when I checked the line for
movement it was going sideways. Strong fish, stayed down after the
hookset and headed out to deep water. Well it seems the boat shadow
was where it wanted to be and I had a hard time convincing it to come
out. Rod was in the water to the reel before it came out on the
shallow side. Still didn't want to come up. Made three good drag
screaming runs and surfaced. Nice Largemouth. Still had a lot of
energy left so I netted it. Weighed in at 5.8. My personal best so
far. I sure hope the pictures turn out. I am going to look at a
small cheap digital for my dry bag next week.
