LittleRedFisherman Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Went fishing wensday and took a friend of mine from Church the hadn’t chased any smallies in almost 30 years. I had a meeting that morning, and after that we went to the river and got there round noon. When we got there I had some of my plethora of poles I bring tangled and I was setting up a camera. Mr JD kept it simple with two poles one with a gitzit and one with a Ned. He said he loved gitzits 30 years ago fishing current river. While I was untangling my mess he nails one on on the first cast. Then another, then a goggleeye, he chuckled and said the ole gitzit still gets it done. Ha ha. Once I got goIng finally I started catching some on the 3 inch craw, plus a 21.5 inch walleye that was a treat instead of a treatment as my grandfather used to say. Only negative was the low river gave navigating a little pucker factor, and I nailed a stone going back down steam miss reading an old stone dam you have to navigate properly when low, so got the first battle wound on the new boat. Great day all in all. I have most of JD’s fish on a video camera as we didn’t take a lot of pictures. He’s still got it, quite an angler. Quillback, Johnsfolly, BilletHead and 6 others 9 There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
netboy Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Good report. Looks like my intake... I've got battle scars also, but those intakes are pretty tough. You learn as you go on these rivers. Bet you won't hit that rock again. But maybe the next one...
BilletHead Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Nice Report man! Every one of those rocks give our boats and ourselves character. The BilletHead knows a lot about the "Pucker Factor".
