Can you believe it? San Vicente Jun 5th

Post by Fishbreath »

Hard to believe that today was my first time out this year. After going my whole life with excellent health, things have gone from bad to since I turned eighty. I really wanted to get out, actually I needed to get out. I got my boat out of mothballs and found that my trolling motor wasn't working. I thought no problem, it might be relaxing to just sit on anchor and see if a fish could find me. I set the bar low, thinking one or maybe two nice ones would be fine.
As it turned out, I could have set the bar a little higher. The first fish was an almost 12" bluegill and the second was a 13" redear (2lbs 2oz).

I wound up with 16, mostly nice ones, all on the same anchor drop. I brought home enough for several meals. We haven't had any all year, and the way things are going, today could be my only trip

Same here Larry, since turning 75, things have definitely become more difficult getting out there. I tell myself I got to get out, but the yucky weather isn't helping!! Nor is the ugly water.
Glad you got out. Going to try myself tomorrow.

I was starting to worry, I hadn't seen you out at San V this season! I asked a couple friends and no sign of you! Glad to see you could make it out there and continue hammering those gills!
