Well made it out this weekend to my lake and did some fishing for the opener. Went out friday night before the opener in hopes of getting some crappies. Caught about a dozen and only two were worth keeping. My dad got a real nice 12"er. I was also throwing a #1 mepps for craps and caught 3 pike



a healthy 24" essox


dad and I then got up early to hit the river for the trout opener. It was running high, fast and dirty, but we were going to give it a shot anyway. He got the the first fish on a #1 mepps

7.5"



I then followed with a beautiful brown. I was drifting a hole, had a strike that broke my line clean. Retied drifted the hole again and caught this guy with my other hook in his mouth too! . When we cleaned out his belly, he had about 36 earthworms give or take a few. whata fattie




11"


went back to the cottage and did some fishing again. My mom bought a license for the first time in about 10 years so I took her out to teach her to cast and fight fish again. She caught a couple of nice gills, and I put her on some nice bass that sucame to a live minnow. She was suprised when they started peeling line off the ultralight rod and 6lb test. One came in at about 16" and the other 17".







also caught a beauty of a dogfish 







and here are a couple of dads crappies. 11 and 12"



I also have some more pics that would not load up, so they may be coming later.

nice fish, ever have trouble keeping the dogfish in the boat? lol

actually yes I do, he jumps in all the time, and then cant get back in the boat, but he wont go to the shore, instead he follows the boat around. He is fast as hell too. Ill guide him back to shore with the boat but he takes right off back after the boat as soon as I pull away.

Why wear the defective hat?  It looks like they put the "W" on upside down.
