St. Mary's Lake Grand Slam 11/17/08





Sunset - Tramonte

Pickerel - Luccetto


Put the kayak in around 1pm. Very overcast and around 52 degrees air temperature. Slight wind but nothing unmanageable. Used a rapala count down in shad, a mepps spinner, chartruese crankbait and a rapala jointed minnow. Caught all my fish in the standing timber. Ended up with 7 fish a bluegill, pickerel, 2 crappie and 3 bass. The biggest bass and the pickerel were my largest out of the lake this year. Better late than never I guess. 2 other people fishing and both were outcatching me.

The pickerel was strong enough to pull the kayak around a bit. Know as a 'Sleigh ride', it's been a while since I've caught a freshwater fish in the kayak that was able to give me a ride.

Ho usato il kayak. Preso 7 pesci. Bluegill, luccetto, crappie & bass. Il bass & luccetto erano i piu grandi che ho preso del quel lago quest anno. Nouvoloso col poco sole. Usavo il rapala countdown e un crankbait colore chartreuse. Mepps = cappotto.
Saluti tutti i soci del pescaOK.

Still Windy, when will it end?

Headed to AAFB for some more fishing. Today we christened the new porta-bote. It was a decent maiden voyage with 22 fish boat. Had 1 nice healthy yellow perch and the rest were fiesty pickerel. Best measured 22 1/2 inches. Lots of fish in the 18 - 20 inch range.


Wind blew the boat all over the pond. I had a nice wind burnt face. I had to reposition the boat all day. Dropped the anchor a whole lot of times.

There were a lots of takeoffs and landings. Even some touch & go practicing. It got noisy a few times.

A tanker coming in for a landing.






Nice fat perch. I didn't even know there were any in this lake.

Look how happy DC gets with her first pickerel of the year.
