Today was nice day to be outside, so I packed up my fishing gear and headed to my favourite panfishing spot. When I got there I couldn't believe all the fish swimming around. Most of been over 50 pan fish swimming in the shallows. The rig set up I used was small bobber with a foot of line from #8 hook with small piece of worm and small split shot. On my first cast once my bobber hit the water, few secounds went by bobber down and fish on!!, reeled it in and it was my first pumpkin seed of the day. After I released the fish, I stepped back on my reel handle and broke it. I was pissed about that, but I continue to use the reel. Everytime I cought a fish I had to use two fingers and my thumb to reel a fish in, but it wasn't has hard I thought it would be.It was like screwing in bolt. About every other cast I had a fish on. I ownly fished for few hours today because I had things to do. I most of cought 30 plus fish today.
Last night buddy and I went out to do some catfishing at our favourite catfishing spot. We were there for an hour before we got a fish, my buddy didn't know he had a little catfish on. I forgot my camera in the car I couldn't get a picture of it. After we releashed the fish I went back to my car to get my camera. Hour later my buddy landed his first bowfin, it was cool to see it was the first one we seen come out of there. So we fished for half hour, then we backed up headed home.
I had a few hours to kill today, I went to the upper niagara to try for some pike. After being there for an hour, I hook up with a a pike. This little guy had alot of energy, he was running around and shaking his head. After I land the pike I fish for another hour with no other taker, so I packed up my stuff and head home.
I hit up one of my favourite streams today, it was good day to be out there. I hooked up with over 20 chubs in 4 hours I was out there. Most of the chubs I was catching were over 7inches.
