Reaper boy strikes again (report for 7/28)

Post by Shawnster »

We got a full 14 hour day in on Sunday. A great day with 46 between us (you know, the same number that some of you catch individually when you haul your fancy kayaks out of the water by 11am). :o

Theo caught the biggest fish of the day before we left the dock at 5:30am. No scale, but this one was a chunker.

We went to Hauser and were greeted with non-stop busters chasing small 1.5" shad. They were everywhere. We had some success with whopper ploppers and crank baits, but I could tell they were only really interested in small shad. We picked up a buddy at the dock at 10am, then went to Pine Cove. Lot's of people, but few fish. Back to Hauser by around noon and I was surprised to see the busters still happening (though to a lesser extent). We even got a double up, but as you can see one of the fish was much much smaller than the other.

Dropped our buddy at the dock at 3:30 and got a close up of these fire helicopters getting water to douse a fire by the border.

Went back to Hauser and fished the busters until dark. Super fun, but really mild success compared to the two boats fishing nearby -- it looked like a fish every cast for them.

Thanks for the report. You need to get a scale for your son. Pounds and oz's tell the story.
