Blizzard Night Fishing 01.02.2010

[patfish]

Got to the pavilion around 8pm-ish. The ground was lightly covered with snow. I begin the multi-layer routine and gear up. Leonard arrives around 8:30, snow's coming down pretty good by now. We rig up and head out. I've never fished Taney at night and I absolutely HATE cold. It was 15* and did I mention snowing? After a short on stream tutorial, it was on to casting. PMS and the Hibernator were the weapons of choice. We chose well. Leonard had fish of the night around 17" and most fish to hand; probably 12 or more. I fared well with 7 to hand, one LDR. The fish were hammering our offerings. I missed many, but I won't miss that many next time. Snowing pretty good the whole time. Off the water by 1030-ish. Good thing, I got up just enough speed to put the truckster into 4 high and off I went. Took the long way back to the room and would have made decent time if I wouldn't have had to wait for the cars and pick ups to slide off the road so I could pass.

I was so stoked when I got back to the room I didn't go to sleep until 3am.

Good times Leonard!!! Until next time brother, I'll keep replaying that experience in my head.

Well Leonard, we would have broken THE record if that powerbait wouldn't have kept flying off on my back cast. :lol:

Warmer, heck, I thought the weather was perfect!!!!
