Early Seasion - too early!

Got out at the crack of 9 a.m. with Jake for a local fishing adventure. First off, Jake is now driving a modified "tuner" car - not really, his muffler feel off and it just sounds like a tuner. As he put it he is not fast a furious, just pissed off and furious (I think that is the same thing?)


We roared around to few local lakes after Jake got his new 2008 PA License. The first lake was 1/2 covered in ice, the second 3/4 and the third - well no ice. No bass but I actually got a small hit at a pond posted "no fishing!" I thought the sign said go fishing, but Jake pointed out that I was wrong - again.


Jake did catch a nice hairbrush


I think he kept it to use later

We met up with Matt (Gamefisher) in the afternoon and he put on a casting show - catching a nice sticker bush next to the water. He did get to try out his new reel, and I am sure will post a brief review.

Here is Matt casting away:



At the very last small pond Jake spots some mongo huge bluegills. We switch to trout magnets and Jake proceeds to catch about a dozen 'gills and one nice little crappie. After every fish Jake woudl taunt me, he knows he does not stand a chance at sea bass so he gloats over me his bluegill skills. I could not catch one of those buggers to save my life, I had no magic touch. Matt spent most of the afternoon trying to coax a bass to eat without success.

I finally managed to catch a big shiner, but as Jake put it, "anyone can catch bait."

It was great to see Matt out this late in the season, it is snowmobile time, but the warm weather has stymied that for him. I think he is starting to enjoy fishing, hehehe!

Well Jake broke his cherry for 2008 and I have the pics to prove it.
