Fishing Forum

I was a late starter this year, like two months late! It was worth the wait though as I caught lots of fish. Started out fishing around the docks for some crappie, they bit pretty good, though they were runing kind of small. I went out deeper to see if they would be bigger, they were smaller.
I decided to kick my way to the second set of docks and on the way out I dragged a small jig with a power minnow. Wasn't to long when i hooked into a heavey fish, it pulled hard on my mico rod and 4 # line, I thought it was a carp, turned out to be a huge walleye, over 4 pounds! Got some pics and turned it loose. Threw the plastic minnow out again and started looking at my new pics, when the rod tip started going down, set into another huge walter, mabye 4 pounds too! Snapped some photos and release, soon I was into another one, this one really pulled hard and had me going in circles, but it turned out to be a smaller eye, around 2 pounds, had to take him for dinner.
Lots of pics! you can see them here: [url "http://mtbucket.blogspot.com/2008/05/finally-got-out-in-float-tube.html"]http://mtbucket.blogspot.com/2008/05/finally-got-out-in-float-tube.html[/url]

[cool][#0000ff]Welcome back. Too bad about the slow start. You know that you can never make up for lost trips. If you miss one you are forever one behind, for the rest of your life.[/#0000ff]

Oh I havnt been missing any trips, just the fish cat has![]
we had a long winter and I did quite a bit of ice fishing, plus I have so many buddies that are nice enough to take me along in their boats, plus the GEM kids outing, I havn't had time for tubin' but now with the longer days I can hit the water after work. I think I should be hitting a few lakes tomorrow![][]
