Well, I got a wild hare and decided to take my one man canoe to the Gorge for the weekend. Fished Saturday with mack addict in his bass boat.
But he went home Saturday night, so when Sunday dawned glass calm, and stayed that way, I decided to see if I could catch a decent laker from my canoe. I found some fish a half mile from shore ( a long ways out in a 12' canoe!) and went to work. And for 2+ hours I couldn't even get a sniff.
So I changed up the lure and changed up the presentation and promptly popped a 19# and a 17# to break in the new canoe! Made my trip!
Those Flaming Gorge teeners are the toughest fish around! Much tougher than a lot of 25s and 30s from other places.
