North shore hot spot Fishing Report
5 Lb Twins Born (caught) Ten Minutes Apart.
James and I got out for a full day Saturday. We hit a new lake for us that a friend of his told us about. First thing in the morning was good. We both caught some fish with James catching a nice 2 lb smallie. We thought we were in for a nice day. Around 7:30am the bite just shut completely off. We fished till about 11:30 and made the decision to leave and finish the day closer to home at one of our local hot spots. That move paid off. We had each caught a few small ones, but the bite was slow. We kept grinding it out, and with about a half hour left in the day James locked on to a monster. He ripped it thru the pads and landed a 5.1lb pig. It made the day for sure. Five minutes later I hooked into a monster and broke him off. After a frustrating day for me, I was on suicide watch at this point. Ready to call it a day, both of us exhausted, he'd caught a pig, and I just had my heart broken by a fish. I retied and said "let's just hit this little patch of pads, then get out of here". My first flip into the pads and a get a hard hit. I set the hook on a big one and he bull dogs me into the pads. The way the day had gone for me so far, I was sure I was gonna loose him. We trolled over to him and while I kept pressure on him, James reached down and grabbed him. He was covered in pads, and when they were cleared off I finally felt relieved. It was a 5.4lb slob. We both caught 5 lbers ten minutes apart, right at the end of the day. A day neither of us will forget.
