After visiting Carters Lake with TritonLB Wednesday, I caught "Float & Fly Fever." I needed another dose so I headed back down today. A leisurely trip... didn't get on the water until 8:30 or 9 and quit at 3:30.<br /><br />Caught a spot on the first cast of the morning ... should have known I was in trouble. emoDoh <br /><br />Ended up with eight spots... three were nice ones... two 2.5 lbs. each and one that went 3.1. He was 19 inches long with an 11.5 girth. A real fattie.<br /><br />There is nothing like healthy spots on an 8.5 ft. St. Croix with 4 lb. test line. When you're fishing with sewing thread tied to a long willow switch, they fight long and hard. There is lots of time to enjoy the ride.<br /><br />I caught five fish on one 50 yard stretch of bank between 1:30 and 2:30. Just needed a couple more banks like the one good one and it would have been a great day. But before that, I spent the majority of my time exploring up lake. Obviously I explored the wrong places.<br /><br />Caught most fish on a 1/16th oz. mylar jigs, white mylar but with a greenish hue. Want to learn more about Carters Lake... call TritonLB. He'll hook you up (pun intended).<br /><br />Life is good and gettin' better every day.<br />
