I went slow and deep night and day on my wife's birthday

MA Machine · 10-15-2008, 10:08 AM

Dear Forum: The 14th was my wife's birthday and I was out of town for work. SO.. I scraped the ice off my windshield at 0200 hours and went night fishing under the bright moon! It was a wonderfully crisp and clear evening with steam wafting off the lake. I whipped out my casting rod and started working the bottom deep and slow, pounding the base of the rock piles with my multi-bladed spinner. The strikes started to come slowly and them in a flurry. I had to finally quit from the exhaustion of catching 6 LMB's. I returned to my room for a nap. At about 1100 hours I awoke in my room and decided to do it all again in broad day light. Much of the same process only success came rapidly with a 20" LMB. All the action had made me incredibly hungry so I packed up and left for some lunch. After eating I just couldn't resist a third time. Something about that lakes water, I just couldn't get it out of my mind! I couldn't stop thinking about it no matter how hard I tried. The weather had changed to windy, cold and rain but there was nothing that could keep me away. I had to do it again! I returned around 1300 hours and started pounding the rocks like I had done twice before. Once again I was rewarded for my efforts. The lake was giving up it's treasure! After 6 more LMB's I returned to work satisfied, cold, wet and tired. It was a day I will always remember!!

I caught 6 of these

Great experience, and NICE FISH, MA!

I wonder, how many of the moderators/directors had their fingers on the "delete" button as they brought this thread up?

No kidding, I'm at work and all my browser displayed was the words "I went slow and deep...." I debated whether or not to open the thread!

after consulting a certain wife I am assured ma machine usually likes to (fish) fast and shallow.

1tohuntandfish · 10-15-2008, 11:44 PM
