The fish were very active yesterday. I started midday with a wacky worm and fished all depths with no luck. Went back to deeper water and the rattle jig and snapped it off the bottom. The first fish I caught bit 5 times before I hooked it.....just under 14 inches. The second fish ate the jig after an aggressive retrieve and it earned the first 10 points in the challenge. One step closer to being the FISH GOD.
I will never the money that goes with the qualifying fish....that will always be earned by the kids.
I fished later with Albert, Hunter, Ryan, Marc, and creek chubber and we all caught fish. Marc caught the most but Hunter caught a bass of just over 14 inches and earned the cash ($15). Congratulations.
Marc may have had a fish that qualified but didn't have anything to measure them. Lesson learned. He won't fish again without a board or tape.
It seems like a walleye would be the next likely fish to get caught, but the pike will start getting active, so my first trip in the tracker may be to Baw Bees. Lake Erie is always iffy because of the wind, but I know we can catch walleye on the humps......need a perfect day.
I texted about a couple fishing tournaments that will have more cash and prizes, but we all need to agree that more points can be earned as well before scheduling.
This is going to get real competitive quick. You boys better get serious, cause there's no crying in fishing.
