Rousted my 20 yr. old son outta bed at 4am !! He really isn't into fishing that much, but with the wife hounding me I never spend any time with my son, it was off we go.
Got to the bait shop and Lori asked me who I had in tow with me today, I said my son. We got into a conversation about how the youth today are just not into fishing. Lori went on to say that even the children of the hard core Polish- Eastern European are not even into the sport. It's depressing when you think about it.
Anyway, got set on the hook on the West wall in about 50 FOW. Bait fishing for me this week has been anything but consistent. You get like one hour when the fish bite and that is it. Maybe others are having better luck but I am finding the fishing very slow this week, very few hits and run offs.
We made the best of what few hits we had. At the late hour of noon we made a run in tight looking for some SMB play but could only scare up a few yellow perch, be damned if I can find a Rainbow trout in that lake.
Been a fun vacation week. Need to expand my horizons more, Landlocks at Tilcon and Aeroflex, fish at Spruce Run and Lake Hopatcong more. Always say I'm going to get a permit for the sheds and never do, Split Rock is calling my name. Won't be long till the dog days set in and I'll be up at Round Valley night fishing.
Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend, I'll try to get out.
