Met up with Tom at Jennings for a trout, sunfish and catfish trip. Lake was open until 10pm so we had plenty of time to fish after meeting up at 3,
Tom's plan was to limit on trout then mess around catching sunfish til evening whereupon we would begin the catfish harvest.
Beautiful day at the lake sums up the trip.
We trolled around trying to find the trout. Didn't find any so we tucked into a few coves and tossed out baits. On a bobber and on the bottom to cover the water column. No dice,
Decided to secure our catfish honey hole and catch some of the panfish that usually hang around while we waited. We even put out some catfish baits to try for a daytime bite.
Not even a nibble.
Finally, after sunset, my rod goes full bendo and after a bit of struggle i pull in the only fish of the trip wrapped in the reeds he tangled me up in, Thank goodness for the cattail cutter rig.
Here it is in all its triumphant glory.
On the way home I got a text saying it was adorable. Thought that friend didn't mess with the gram.
Fun day even if it was slow.
I bet Tom is at the mud puddles catching some more whisker trout right now.
