RiverRat tales(Bass,gils, 5lb eye@Toga)

Just wondering what you grab onto to when you mount one?

j/k but I couldn't resist.

I also asked him how it felt on a different thread....I had to as well

Nice bass, really like the smallie. They're definitely an underutilized resource on TOGA.

No boat traffic? Lucky you.

No boat traffic but I did manage to get stopped by the local militia(sheriff).Seems I was the only red bassboat on the lake that day.Someone reported a red bassboat going more than 5 mph under the bridge.Cop questioned me about 6 hours AFTER I went under the bridge. ???So of course he wanted to see my life jackets etc etc etc ..I was all legit though.He told me"he wasn't going to write me a ticket this time".I don't see how the heII he was going to write a ticket on someone else's word 6 hours later.Pretty sure my lawyer would of got me out of that one.

wow, what does sounds like a BS ticket. What a pain in the arse that must have been. Did you get stopped as you were pulling out of the water, or did he come out on the water looking for a red boat.

I don't think he could write you a ticket on hearsay 20 minutes afterward.
Sounds like he was just bored...

He came out looking for me.I was the only red bassboat on the lake he said.

Got out this evening with BigRed and the wife even joined us for this one.We went to a few honey holes to try to get a bunch of fish in the short time we had.The first couple spots we tried produced 1 dink smally.So we stopped to hit some newer brushpiles and it payed off.We could see crappies herding minnows and on the feed.Heres a couple pics of them.All were over 13" except for 1.





Then the wife got in on the act with a sheepshead.



Started off slow but we did manage some nice ones as the sun set.Thanks for having us Lance.

Too bad they're going to get their azz's kicked by my DOLPHINS opening day.Smak talk has been happening in my house since the schedule came out.
She's been a Steeler fan for over 30 years now.A VERY LOUD STEELER fan too! ;)She's also a Met fan so shes on cloud 9 now. Hope she enjoys it while she can.

Bartman - I haven't trout fished in years.Since I'm on this ultra lite kick I may go chase some pond trout this fall.Its hard to take myself trout fishing when I know the bass and pike in the river are also going to be on the bite.Decisions,decisions.Everyone  should have such tough choices.

Have a ball on vaction, when you heading out. I'm trying to get Chainsaw to come out for our fishing day.  MFF Hudson River mid-week outting.
