First by my wife on Saturday , I landed a nice 10" bluegill on a leech while her bait was being snatched from her hook time and time again (pic 006) . We were after bass or walleye but neither of those species were cooperating with us .
Just a few minutes later she was in the thick of a bunch of the biggest pumpkinseeds ya' ever saw , one after another and all over 10" in length (pic009).
From that time on I caught the dinkiest gills you ever saw in your life and I had to work for them too [bobhappy].
It takes too long to upload all the pics so I'll just give you some of the stuff we saw , the Loons came by minus their one and only birth of the year , got a pretty good idea of what happened to it as they were after a huge snapper where ever it went . They were hell bent on making that snappers life miserable .
Later we had a couple REMAX hot air balloons come by the south end of the lake . Idiots I thought , thunderstorms all over the area and more on the way .
A granny and gramps had their grandson with then for a evening of fishing on the lake , maybe just a dozen 8" gills in the basket , no bass for them either .
The second butt kicking came from all the rain we were pounded with from Saturday at dusk until sometime this morning , couldn't get on line for more than a minute or two before getting the boot . Water shot from the gutter downspouts a good two feet at the height of the storms , at least the garden received a good thorough drenching .
I did hear that you guys downstate had a hell of a time with the same weather system , everyone O.K. ? What happened in your area ?
