QB - you would think that this duo would be too distracted to fish effectively for trout. One of them would likely be constantly looking out for a new minnow or sculpin and the other scanning the skies or woods for groceries ! Though they did boat 30 trout and a white bass that afternoon ! Daryk Campbell Sr, Terrierman, JestersHK and 1 other 3 1

I backed in to my normal depth, took off the safety chain, and leaned into it to slide it 1/2 way off the trailer and NOTHING moved at all.

Coldest days I have ever fished.

Personally it is more appropriate that they got Folly Flu or Folly rigged that cast ! I wondered if my first mate for that day would come clean. We would of caught many ,many more fish if we were not dealing with Johnitis. I admit I had a small dose of it. Passed the rod for unsnagging to the first mate and went back to retrieve my jig. So what did first mate do to get even with me? He yanked and broke my jig off ! I lost three jigs during the fest. This Folly guy did one of them. I did let him get the barge up to speed and on plane once and he is a pretty good trailer backer , BilletHead JestersHK and Johnsfolly 2 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Johnsfolly Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Reading these posts from Gotmuddy and Billethead, you would think that all I did was hang up and not catch fish. I'll let them know that I got unsnagged more often than breaking off and I also actually caught some fish. I didn't catch the 61 fish that I had hoped for the weekend. I did catch a few and even have photos. One of the three brown trout that I caught this weekend (caught with Billethead on Thurs. night). This one was 14 to 15" in length and was the best coloration of the three. A nicely colored rainbow that I also caught with Billethead on Thurs. A chunky rainbow that I caught while fishing with Terrierman and Gotmuddy. Ham and I caught a few smallmouth bass. If they didn't put up as much fight they might have fallen into the stinking bass category ! I caught my largest rainbow of the trip on Sunday while fishing with Ham. Though I didn't get my numbers goal or a new species it wasn't for the lack of strikes or opportunities. I had a great time with some great fishermen! Hopefully still in the area for Jigfest (or Gigfest) 2018! BilletHead, grizwilson, Quillback and 2 others 5
Johnsfolly Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I have to say that Riley's have must have the horniest turkeys around. If you stand in the yard for more than a couple of minutes your are surrounded by them both spitting and drumming. I wouldn't want to know what would happen if you bent over ! grizwilson, Quillback and JestersHK 2 1
