Wasn't going to post since it was just another 1/2 day in the tube at pineview. It's close. Anyways, I left early for me, because I wanted to see if it made a difference. Got there about 8:30 am. Seems like it doesn't, in fact it wasn't good until about 11 am.????? Covered the shoreline in my tube and caught maybe 3 smallies and then retraced my route mid day. What a difference! In the same previously fished area I hooked about 2 dozen smallies, landed 16 and caught a 20 " tiger, all on a split tailed reaper, 6# line, and a small split shot about 9 " up. [shocked] Tried to release the tiger and Sparky grabbed him and I had to chase Sparky down in the tube to get him to release him. [mad] Man, I"d like to see him do that on a big un, not!!!! Quit about 1 pm, came home and have my dring in front of the tube as I post. It was a gooooooooood day.[
] Had to keep the one in the pic. since he swallowed the lure and it was hooked in his gullet.
