Late Splitrock Report!

[Hookmanski]

I hit splitrock with the Yak last saturday and had a pretty good day! Drove the civic up there with the yak on the roof, I launched right at 9 am. I let the wind push me down the west bank and fished the whole way to the island. Caught 4 cookie cutter smallies, all right around 12 inches. Had a nice largie jump and throw my hook.

Coolest catch of the day was when i was sitting still, figuring out where i wanted to go next, and I had the ned rig dangling about 3 inches below the water right next to my yak in about 15-20 FOW. All of a sudden a smallie came out of nowhere and crushed it! He had a healed gash in his side (pictured below), this guy must be tough.

All in all, a good day on the water. I was one of the only people out there, it was a little chilly and rainy which kept most people away. I left right at 1 pm. A great day of fishing for sure! Tight Lines!
