march 26th 2007 a day on the water mith my yankee family from Wasaw Wisconsin
Well I had my redneck yankee family from Wasaw Wisconsin dig themselves out of 6 feet of snow just to come down and fish with me today. On the boat was Brad (dad) and his son Trevor. I started fishing with these two anglers 7 years ago. Trevor was only 7 and about half the size he is now. We got an early start and caught this sunrise as we rounded the narrows.
Out first stop was the FP pier. We saw plenty of fish but no takers. We then moved to the rocks and got a few hits and hung a couple but lost them. Then Brad caught this nice sheephead.
Trevor hooked up several fish but had the hook pull in everyone. Our bait was low and I told Trevor we had to change the size of his hook. I went from a #2 hook to a #1/0 hook. Yes you hear me correctly. Abigger hook. First drop down and Trevor caught this nice sheephead.
Well after Trevor caught this sheephead we did not get another bite. Hey Trevor could it have been like 7 years ago. Fish Finder showed two fish and after you and your cousin caught a fish each…no more fish on the screen….hmmmm?
Ok we rerigged tackle and placed speck rigs on and started trolling for spanish.
Trevor quickly got hooked up.
Trevor with a nice spanish for the fry daddy!
Ok Brad was getting alittle impaticent. Trevor was catching them pretty quick and pulling them over the gunnel. When BAM dad on!
Dad with his first of many this day.
Dad and Trevor with many doubles during the day.
Well it was a wonderful day. Good family on boat and plenty of fish. We released about 25 and kept enough for a good ole fish fry.
I sure hate momma Lisa and Molly were not on the boat to enjoy. Maybe next year.
Until our next fishing adventures…tight lines!
God Bless
