Talking Splitrockin' - 9/22/11

Fished SRR this morning for a few hours. Very dense fog when I got there.


Funny story: I launched my kayak into the fog figuring that I would make it across to my spot with dead reckoning. It did not take long until I could no longer see the shore. Because the water was flat calm, reflecting the fog, there was no sense of direction, or even of the horizon. So I am paddling a while, being amused by the novelty of the dense fog, wondering when I will be able to start to see the other side... When all of the sudden I found myself back at the launch. I was able to navigate much better once I pulled out my compass...

I alternated between my usual gold panther martin and drifting medium shiners. I brought the shiners hoping to get into some crappies, but did not. I did however get into a bunch of real chunky bluegills over 9" that were eating the shiners, as well as a bunch of smallmouth to 16".







Total for the morning was 17 gills, 3 red breasts, 2 largemouth and 7 smallies. Invited a couple of the bluegills and one of the smallies to dinner. They accepted.

Nice job. Suprised to see other people keeping bass besides me. They taste pretty good, and some lakes have become stunted because everyone thinks thinks throwing back is going to help.

Great talking to ya on da phone. Glad to hear people are keeping it clean and there was no damage from the storm.
No comments on keeping fish, it's totally legal.

Just like a largemouth. Although freshwater wise Ill take crappies and perch over anything else, bass are still pretty good eating.
