Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH

[Wilson]

Came out of my house at 4:30 and was surprised it was calm and pretty warm out. Drove 45 miles to LH and was in a freezer wind tunnel
Nice turnout of guys, and nice to meet some new faces.
Was blowing hard and pretty chilly as well.
Went home and ate my sandwich.

Somebody needs a boat mechanic
Anyone going next weekend that needs a second PM me.

Was good to me everyone today, weather sucked and next Saturday they are calling for 25 with gusts to 45. A long way off but it's gonna blow sometime around Saturday.

Yes it was quite a day on the high seas, I THOUGHT FOR A FEW SECONDS that I was on Raritan Bay! Well you all know I am an extreme guy so we launched and she fired up and gave her full throttle into the belly of the beast and she quit!!!! ONCE AGAIN I was able to keep it running and we fished till around 2:00pm even though we should have packed it in way earlier. So anyway it was a HYBRID meet/greet and that is what we caught one nice fat wiper about 22 inches but thick with some nice shoulders to it. Jeremy has the pic of it so prob about 2/3 weeks before he posts the porn! We were on the leeward side and saw the birds working pretty good so drug our baits over there and had herring busting on the surface and coming out of the water even in those waves. We came across the humps and it took the bait as we trolled out to deeper water. Good solid fish prob high fives/six pounds cpr'd. We were all over the lake looking for fish and some where to duck out of the wind but to no avail. Finally after I was drenched we decided to pull the plug!
It was great to meet some of the other guys and the two lurkers who showed up to fish with us!
Sign up guys you won't regret it!!!!
As soon as I got home I ripped the carb off and found the bowl and fuel pump screen loaded with sand. Wilson????? I thought I saw you by my boat!!!!!lol
So off to my buddys who owns a carb shop to ultra sonic clean it and be ready to roll for next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe we should have all gone and had coffee and breakfast instead, NAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Who's that good looking guy in the bow of GetANet?!?!?! LoL...

Was pretty nasty out there today boyzz... Glad we managed to launch safely and that Dale, yet again, was able to figure things out with the motor and have us underway to grab bait. Once set up on the troll we saw some birds working and tried to fish around them. Luckily one fish in striped pajamas decided to come calling. Fish was 22"... And FATTTTTT!! Put on a good show, too. Had me over and under lines and flip flopping in the bow as Dale worked to keep the boat straight and the lines free. Here's the shot of the wiper...

Catch em' up!

Sounds like an adventure for sure. Sorry to hear the weather didn't cooperate boys. Way to stick it out for those who dared. Nice fish there guys...at least the skunk was avoided.

Glad you guys got some fish. The wind was blowing hard enough that I was concerned about loading the boat back on the trailer. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time around.

I know you guys like to C&R and that's great, but I can't help to think what a few of those would be like cleaned and cut into chunks then dipped in batter and put into the deep fryer Such great looking fish !!! I ran into an old friend and he was a chef, did amazing things with the fish I gave him.
