Three trips in one week

[TopH2O]

It's hot...and fishing has slowed down on some waters.  But I pushed it and got out three times this last week...Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Caught fish and didn't catch no covids...I hope.

Already put up a post about Monday's fishing...Willard 7-13-20...TDH and NBC

Wednesday I got up at 3 am and rode up to Strawberry with Liketrolling...to troll for kokes in his boat.  Finally woke up about 10.  Fishing has slowed way down on Da Berry, but we managed to scratch a few kokes and some pesky cutts.  I actually got my limit of kokanee. And that was the first time I have fished that lake in almost 40 years.  Thanks, Robert.  It was good to fish with someone as old as I am.  Not many of us left.

Friday I climbed in another boat...with old fishing buddy TopH20.  He had been camped all week at Willard...fishing and visiting with a son from Clearfield.  As with most folks on Willard these days he had worked hard to find a few fish...but mostly cats and a couple of wipers.  We had to be back before noon so he could check out of his campsite so we divided up the morning.  First few hours were spent looking and trolling.  Saw a lot more fish on "TV" than on our lines.  A couple of cats and one wiper was about all we could manage.  Others on the water seemed to be struggling too.

Late in the morning we put up the trolling rigs and brought out the fliggin' gear.  Mike wanted to learn the way of the flig.  So I directed him to my "Kitty Condo" off Eagle Beach and we commenced to dragging fligs sweetened with LHBE minnows.  It took a few minutes of dodging jet skis to finally find a few cats.  They slurped up our offerings, tugged well and were safely ushered back into the lake.  Thanks for the invite, Mike.  Good to fish with you again.  Starvation is calling.

It was my pleasure to share Friday morning with you Pat.  It's too bad we didn't get out there a few weeks ago when the walleye and wipers were more available and willing to play tug-of-war.  The Fligin lesson was worth the effort of putting up with the tropical heat and wave runners.  I'm looking forward to our next outing and the chance to use some of the bling you gave me when we wrapped up the day.  Starvation could well be the next location for us join up again.  Stay well and feisty!
