Grinning and Bearing it '21

[fishskibum]

Managed to git a following the spawning carp sucker to eat

a few more 1st point poopers


and a cutt or 2 on the trip back
while i was able to launch and retrieve the drifty from shore
the chopped raised front end farmall tractor method the locals use to git their bigger boats on the water from the beach is pretty damn cool

as are the spreads along that shore
next morning fished the spawners in the beach shallows off the sup and got a few



let the wife paddle a bit

and the god do newf stuff

nice to check another place ive wanted to fish off the list and really want to get back up there

---

Stopped and checked out cutler and the upper bear access points


ended up at Newton cause its been a few years

where i added a few more casts to the thousands its evidently gonna take me  to check the muskellunge box

A nice bucketmouth devouring 6'' of hair, fur and feathers and a couple hooks saved me from the skunk the next day


and evidently "wakeless" has a different meaning to me than most of the boaters launching


as the launch and run fullspeed to the far end of the lake seemed to be at least 1/2 operators mo despite the well designated signage and regulations
if anyone would care to share the ramps current status or link to it id be grateful
pretty low back then and way below the wakeless line

and of couse after pounding the water and dam wall all morning without seeing any water wolfs
i drive out stopp to snap a pic and look down to 3'-4' of esox cassually cruising the surface munching on a dead fish

i need to git back there too
