[blue][size 2]It was -6 at 7:30 this morning. I had to cut thru 6 to 7 inches on all five of my holes. I caught my first fish within 5 mins of drilling my first hole. Then I proceeded to get stripped or come unbuttoned or have my hooks straightened out for the next three hours and I caught another fish too in there somewhere. It wasn't boring by any means. I was busy the whole time.
Then, it was time to move. I walked back to my truck and threw the sled in. Drove up and down the highway trying to figure where the deep water might be. Oh BTW, did I mention that there ain't no water in Scofield![shocked]. After spend the early morning in barely 6 feet of water, I found 9 maybe, I dare say 10 foot of water.
I walked out to where my buddy and me used to fish in the olden days(late 90's). Nada, Nuthin', Nein. So I go drill my fifth hole. [blush] ut ooh, about 20 feet away my strike indicator is a dancing. I run over there and big fat zero. So I switch holes. Did I ever tell you to "NEVER LEAVE FISH". I drop down the hole, WHAM! My second eater on the deck. I unhook him and Wham my third eater shows up. So, the next 2 1/2 hours was very close non-stop action. They wouldn't let me eat! I tried to read a book! For crying outloud, I want to kick back and relax. Not work[
]. 12" were the smallest and the biggest was 15". 15 troutski's made the upper deck, three hooks got straightened out, 5 fishlips came off at the hole, 3 jigs broke off, and I missed at least 30 strikes!!![/size][/blue]
