It was calling for rain on and off, with some sun, and a thunderstorm was scheduled to roll on in, or so they said, but when we woke on the Tuesday morning, with the sun beating down, we knew today was going to be a good day. My cousin was staying with me for acouple of days, so we decided to meet Tangledline and another buddy of mine Chris for a day of fishing. We meet at the marina ferry at 7:45 am, coffee and tea`s in hand, a quick croissant and a egg Mcmuffin for Mike (my cousin) and we are ready for a day of blazin and rippin it up on the Island. Off we go, the four of us, and what awaits, who knows. When we arrived on the island, the smell, the sun, the calm waters, all spelled fish...
What a begining. We take our position up, and start throwing, each one of us something different. I start with a little cleo...blue and silver, not sure about everyone elses choice, I am too focused...we work the shoreline with no success, we probe and prod, can`t find a thing...so we move on...I have switched my little cleo for a blackfury #4 and head towards swan pond. Coming up on the pond, I decide to tip my fury with a worm, and it pays off...acouple of casts and I get a bowfin smashing my lure...I fight her for abit whilest I wait for Mike to bring the net, he nets her for me and we take some shots and let her go, unfortunatly Tangledline has those pics, I will post them tomorrow. We all work the pond for abit and Tangledline hooks into his first Bass of the day.
we are gettin excited and keep working the water. Me and my cousin head to the other side of the bridge and Tangledline and Chris stay at the pond. My cousin gets this little bass...
Look how happy he is...Wee walk we smoke...he`s happy. A few more casts and I hear the call "Kearney...Kearney..." I make my way back over the bridge and Chris has landed this chunkey monkey!!
Look at the gap..
Smiles all around, we continue on insearch...Make our way to the back bay near the school, afew fish ae spotted but no luck is had...We start our way back working some of the same waters...again afew are spotted but no luck. Head back to the pond...I have a worm on a hook on. Start to work the waters looking for the fishies...and I find one, My second of the day, a nice little bass...
lets have another look.
We headed back after that to the first bit of water we worked, snook up on a bowfin that Tangledline got to play with, but this is kinda where my storey ends and his may begin...you see Me and my cousin and Chris left Tangledline on the Island...he was determined to continue on insearch of his prey...I don`t think you will be dissapointed in his story. Another greta day was had by me and my friends. Can`t wait till the next time.
