Morning on Aeroflex

[MattK]

Hit up Aeroflex this morning for what I figured would be my annual skunking on the lake. Got to the lake around 630, and ran into another NJFisher launching his boat. Chatted for a few minutes and then went out on the lake.

Lost several fish in the first 2 hours on the lake, before finally pulling my first ever Landocked Salmon. Measured in right at 16 inches. Beautiful fish and a heck of a fight. Fished another hour for salmon with a few hits but only landed a pickerel.

Decided before I came in for the day to throw a small spinner on to see if any stocked bows were swimming around in the shallower water closer to the launch. First cast I landed a nice fat 18 inch largemouth. Released her and took a few more casts without any more luck so I called it a day.

And now for the important safety tip...Be very careful running across those plastic docks in bare feet. It may only have been 80 out at the time but that dock was scorching hot and I gave myself a rather nasty burn on the bottom of both my feet. Hurts like hell but I wont do it again.
