Fishing with Q-Tip on 9-3-09

Headed a bit west on thursday morning, we first started at Cottonmill trying to hook up a pike or two. After several hours of working on it we turned up nothing but a couple bass and gills.

Our next stop was at Windmill on our way to Waraxe, windmill turned out to be fairly good on small gills but didnt produce a whole lot more.

So then Jon and I headed to War Axe, we had spoke about this one all day due to it having smallies. Once we got there we started working the shore using various techniques. After several minutes I produced my first smallie, about a pound and a half. I then moved on working the shore and go into a couple reel good schools of redears, and one more smallie.

What a great day, it was an awesome day out!
