That would be almost 4 months-----------WOW :(
Way to go Don
I knew it was just a matter of time before you were on the mighty Ohio after those whisker fish . I could tell by your post you were wanting to try it, they have got me wanting to give it a try also. Did you get to do the catch your own bait before you could start to fish thing, some times that is as much fun as the fishing. When you get it figured out maybe me and you can make a trip up that way.
Wormin,
Yep I was chompin' at the bit to give it a try. Fisheater (John) was gracious enough to invite me earlier in the year but you know how plans work out sometimes! We did catch our own bait...well John did he was throwing the net and aside from the shad we boated a striper and a few drum, of course they went back in the water.
John put us in the right spots and once the feeding time started it was great. This is the first time I used circle hooks and they impressed me on how consistant they hook fish. A typical bite was a tap or thump and then the rod loading up fairly quickly and then hang on! When I pulled into that fish she started zinging drag and making me smile:). The current was rippin' so that fish had alot of power to use against me. When she came up and I saw how big she was I was thinking I have to get this thing in the boat! John slipped the net under her and the braid snapped above the hook. I guess it's from rolling around and that braid is raking across those little nubs/teeth the whole time. I think we caught 5 that night. I can't say enough how much fun that was and if you get a chance, try it! I'll try the KY River around lock 8 and if I get it figured out I'll let you know so we can slam a few.:D
Thanks again John!
No problem at all Don im just glad we got into some.Any time both of you want to give it a try im game.Ive fished 3 out of my boat for sure but if someone has a bigger boat thats great too.
John,
I'm leaving for Florida in the morning but if I wasn't I'm thinking I would be making plans to come your way again! I bet the next time I'll have more water to drink...it gets hot out there.:)
