Holiday Weekend Outings
Posted 05-24-2009 at 09:33 PM by GenericAngler
Saturday evening grabbed about 7 poles and went with the little kids and wife to the local puddle and wet some worms.
Had a blast from the shore. The wife was the winner that is for sure. She nabbed a couple nice sized cats and then just to spite me, she got this little guy:
All I could manage was about 4 slimy trout, a couple smaller crappies, some bluegills, and then a small sunfish about the size of my thumb.
My boy got a couple trout and some bluegill, and my youngest daughter put the pole down and hit the social circuit around the lake........She had already been out with me 4 or 5 times this year, so moderately decent fishing did not spark her interest as much as hanging out with her friends.
On to Sunday afternoon at Louisville. The holiday crowds made the place look like down town Mexico City....but after about 20 minutes and a bribe, I was able to secure a parking spot.
I know -- stupid to try to fish during amateur hour but I was bored, and the overcast skies cooled it down enough to make it very tempting to hit the water.
Once I kicked about 50 yards from shore, I might as well have been the only one in the park.....Float tubes are the only way to go.
Needless to say, I played with the little Bass for a while as usual:
And had a plethora of 7" Bluegill tug at my line:
And then to make things interesting, the little bass and his bluegill buddy decided to team up on me and try to take me out at the same time on different rods:
But the Generic fight of the evening goes to this little 8 1/2" fellow:
On lite tackle, playing with 8" bluegill is about as fun as it gets around here. This fishy and a couple of it's cohorts really represented today.
Got into a few Crappie as well.....all 8 1/2 - 10 inches, nothing to write home about.
I am finally convinced that all of the kitties at Louisville are officially ignoring me. Looking at the shock reports from the G&P it looks like they are far and few in between anyway.
Until next time.
