Got up early and took the boat out this am. Hasn’t seen the water since well before deer season opened so it was a nice change of pace. Wind semi-cooperated and so did some fish. Only caught a handful of smallmouth, biggest was 4.5lbs then went and beat up a couple dozen largemouth with the biggest around 3.5. Gotta get my shit together now and chase deer without antlers.
Too warm for me to mess with filling a couple more doe tags, and perfect wind to get out on Erie today. Had to bust through 1/4-1/2 mile of skim and chunk ice in the marina to get out on the lake. Biggest (picture) was a hair over 4lbs, all the others were sub 3.5lbs. Total around 20 fish? Not a bad day of soft water fishing considering it’s December 10th.
First cast & first fish of the year, lol! Only fish after 1.5hrs of pond fishing at my brother's with the oldest two. They ran out of the school doors to the truck..too good.
