A few hours at the South marina today

[wiperhunter2]

With all the rain in the forecast this week we thought we would give it a try in a window we saw this morning so we drove up to the South marina and fished from shore. This was the first sight we saw as we were driving in.



We got down to the parking area near the ramp and saw this as we walked around the point toward the channel.




When we got to the channel side we both casted out pink a nd either fire tiger or pale perch fligs, with chub for bait. Around 9 am I looked at the sky and saw this.



Within a few minutes Ira had the first cat on his line, a nice 23 incher, then it was pretty steady for the next two hours, with cats up to 24", then the calm was over and the sky looked like this.



Between the second and third hour the catching slowed and it rained lightly but we missed the worse of the passing storm. We ended up with 6 cats, one over 24" and a nice 12" perch.



On the walk back to the truck Ira found the huge mussel and it was alive, anyone ever seen one this big? I had no idea they got this big.




Took a few pics of what is below the water at the boat docks.
