Chasing the Pig

(07-19-2024, 02:40 PM)SkunkedAgain Wrote: Man I hate this forum at times... Was just finishing a fairly good write up and it froze up and lost the whole post... now the motivation to make a good post is gone, so, sorry you just get the readers digest version...

Wednesday I took my SIL and his pop up to Porcupine, we had a little mishap on the way..... Someone I can't mention might have left his bimini top up for a couple miles before I remembered and by the time I looked, it was tore off and flying like a kite behind... haven't had time to see how bad I tore it up, but do know I broke all the attachment hardware and straps, so I'll have a fix needed.... 

Anyway, the road up to the launch is rough and narrow when towing an 18' boat, but launch was okay... I had the lucky rod to start and after catching 5 bows, 14.5" was my best, I passed the rod to my SIL...  He continued the streak and caught 3 bows and a koke, then he passed the rod to his pop, who got a koke to finish our day...  For some reason one of my lead core set ups was the only rod that would catch fish... We fished another lead core set up and the down rigger and could only get fish on that one rod... Sad part is that rod is so heavy duty that these fish could hardly be felt, it was way too heavy for smallish fish, but I couldn't figure out how to get the light line setups to work for us...  Fun day with only a few kayaks and toons out fishing with us, but the paddle boards and swimmers really rolled in about 11:00, so we cleared out at 12:00.... Might have had something to do with no functional bimini top and too much sunshine...  Later J

How is the electric motor working out for you, I havent fished porcupine for probably 10 years or more after the kokes were getting so small I started fishing them back in 1976 when i got stationed here. My kids grew up camping and fishing there before idiots started turning it into a dump and left trash all over. Sure miss those years.
