Fishing Report-windy

[binman]

Well Dad and I set out this morning at about 8:00 at Old State Park wind was blowing but not too awful bad ran to Hawker no fish so moved a little way's caught a 16 1/2 in LM then ............ The top of my trolling motor breaks completely off and to top it off is stuck down and won't come up so while I got Dad up on the bow with screwdriver's in hand trying to get this fixed we blow strait into the point we are fishing and are now beached up on a island!!!!

Well with a little effort we got set back up and went to the middle of the lake to fix the trolling motor.So after 15 more minutes or so and a roll of electrical tape later we are back in good.Looked around didn't see no boats for a long time so we decide to head back to Old State Park when we saw 3 1/2 ft white caps at least well needless to say is that 16 ft 9 in boat I got don't like it. When we left there was not another boat in the parking lot

Well I guess that makes you tougher than I am because I stayed home.

[Whodat]

Son, you forgot the part about the third cast my rod fly's out into the lake and my reel falls in the lake.Then 5 minutes later the whole dam eye breaks off your rod.I tied on a chomper bait a first cast it breaks off and fly's about 50 yards up in the woods.In my 47 years of life I have never seen the rath of Stockton like it was yesterday!!!!!!! Fishin with my son in his Champion Boat..........Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, you were lucky and left the lake before the tornado hit?

[binman]

Well I guess what tornado are you talking about I did not hear any thing about a tornado but if you wonder what it is like blue marlin fishing go to stockton

[binman]

Also would like to just throw this in to yesterday was rough and in my personal opinion dangerous and I am glad that I had my Dad with me so his boating experience could get us home Thanks

[Dutch]

You sound surprised by the windy weather. Do you knot check the weather before you go to the lake?

binman:

I was pulling your leg.

The list of bad things about the day was amazing. Only a tornado would have made it worse. I am glad you got home safe.

Well I can only say that I did no it was supposed to be windy but when we got there it was not that bad.I have fished Stockton alot and I have been caught in storms and wind before but nothing like this it was to the point where even as much as I love to fish I was not having fun but I did have my first keeper by 10 am and that was awesome my dad and I have not bass fished for probably every bit of 5 years maybe more and boy could you tell our equipment was falling a part but I guess that's part of the bonding experience!!!!!!!!!!! Be Safe Have Fun and Catch Fish
