BIP Gang- Ponds and Lake Adventures

Sounds like good times. I wanted to get out between the rains this evening myself but got stuck at work.

It was one of those magically "in tune" with nature moments. I think those are what we as fishermen aspire to achieve

[Dispy]

If I were you, I would have Gorilla Head mount a Go Pro or other sealed camera ( they are out there) and put that fancy Digitroll on a 3' bottom sensor mode.
If you can't get that to happen....

What a great idea, GH with wetsuit, chumbag, GoPro and maybe get Potatoman's daughter to carve up one of those nice looking spears for him while he's down there    

Sorry GH, a little fun at your expense

5:30 am sharp. Be here or be square. Looking forward to fishing with both you and Sorelippin'.

Team BIP is out late fishing for pouts with modest results. Dead shiners are producing some rather hefty fish, hopefully they'll have some pics to post later. As I was fueling up for tomorrow's early morning trout adventure, the boys had 3 rods fire and reeled in a few catcher's mit sized fish. The special marinade is waiting for them. YUM YUM

Today was the day of all days to get on the trout bite. Friends Sorelippin and Lavaman joined me in what started out as a rainy day. But by 6:30 am the rain let up and the fun began. Thanks to you both for another great outing with some nice quality fish

On our first line set, Lavaman hooked into a fish within minutes. Mayhem broke loose with both Kevin and Jesse doubling up on what would be the first of many doubles today. A few were caught while letting out the lines, within 20 feet of the boat. Water temps were at 65*F. Trolling at 2.1-2.7 mph proved to be the magic speeds over 50-75 feet of water.

18 Rainbows , 5 lost at the boat, 1 Whitey Bulger, 3 Sunfish, 1 Pickerel, 1 Crappie and 3 Yellow Perch were caught today. All but 6 rainbows were released for another day.

Some pictures from today and one very short video. Sorry guys, after my camera went into the drink it appears to not take video anymore. I wished I could have captured some of the long battles and spectacular aerial leaps  Maybe next time.















And a short video: Click on pic to watch:

WOW awesome fish guys!  Nice work!

Looks like a great day, I like that first pic. The trout bite was definitely hot today... My buddy got a 14" rainbow on a crankbait while we were fishing smallies on a downed tree. Pretty surprising.

Nice stringer of bows, guys.
Wet days are often my favorites.
 "2.1-2.7 mph proved to be the magic speeds", LOL

Thanks fellas, it was a pleasant day catching with friends and the fishing wasn't bad either

Seahunt- the reason I posted speeds was to not provide redundant knowledge  I should have elaborated upon the cliche and stated " Varying the boats speeds, 2.7 to a dead throttle,  down to .5, then an increase of speed to 2.1 produced several finicky biters into striking. Trolling at a steady 2.7 speed did not provide the same action, given the techniques we were using today." Good luck up in the North East Kingdom* tomorrow
