One time...at BAM camp

Pre-fished the hell out of the lake today.  In a word tough.  Tough enough to warrant a format change or its gonna be slim.  That said after 5.5 hours and 10 miles, I finally found them.  Piled up right in front of the BAM camp.  Too funny.  This guy was a snaky 28 inches, but good enough to light up the 8 weight.  Missed another.

 

Nice job on the flyrod striper Sean.

Tough enough to warrant a format change or its gonna be slim.

Is there going to be a format change?

Yep.  See the tourney page.  If I keep it the way it is we'll all go hungry!  There are also some safety issues with the weigh-boat idea.  Metered lots of sub-two foot depths today.

NICE job with the fly rod. Did you hook him on the troll or casting to a boil?

Hey Sean! I saw you on the lake from Hwy 20. Cruising by I just had to take a look. Around 9 and you were at the south end. Glad to hear you found a fish. Five hours though? You put your time in if you hooked up at the 5 hr mark! They weren't boiling, were they?

No boils.  I had one take down on a SLOW troll, it came off.  This one on the slow strip.  I basically cruised the whole lake getting the low down.  I got all of the action in the last half hour.  then I had to go. 

Finally broke in the new "Reddy" bug rod on a Striper eh... sawheeet! Sure it was a lot of fun.

Yeppers, the reel was singing.  Wish I had a better pic.  Jacked Jelly's camera...my Optio is DEAD. 

Optio is Dead!!!!

 Just the Battery or is the camera 10-7  ???? .....Danglin

The camera.  It is an old wp33, 4 years of torture and it finally croaked.  Impressive really, that thing took a serious beating.

Nice job Sean, way to work it  !

Yep.  See the tourney page.  If I keep it the way it is we'll all go hungry!

Thank god! I spent 6 hours out there on Sunday for nada. That was my first mendo skunk in 7 trips.

I saw you and the FND out there.  Sorry you had a tough day.

...my Optio is DEAD. 

How long did you have it? I am considering buying one but if they don't last I might reconsider....
