We got up at a decent time, checked the weather and wind...decided to hit Nanticoke on Lake Erie for Smallies. Joe and Crash plan to join us and arrived shortly after in Joes Yamaha boat and started flipping tubes too.
The morning bite was slow for us, but Float got things kicked off for us with a nice smallie. His hook set was followed by one of Floats classic "Holy ****!!"
We worked cranks, spinners and lots of plastic. It took some time, but we got onto them with black gulp leeches. They lit things up for us for a bit. Float just couldn't stay away from the chrome! Although the chrome he found today was a bit different.
Sheepies!! And lots of them, he was truly the sheepie king today. He also boated a couple little silvers.
After boating a ton of small largies, a few decent smallies, loads of sheepies, a rockbass and a blue gill, we decided to stop for lunch. We all headed back to shore and enjoyed a great lunch at the marina resturant. Joe and Crash decided to call it a day and we chose to try the afternoon bite. And we're glad we did!
We set up in an entirey differnt location than in the morning. The waves were down, so we had more options with the water we could cover. It didn't take long for us to figure out the big smallie bite!
A nice treat was both Bunk and I finding a walleye on the end of our lines. Bunks came on a canadian wiggler and mine on a gulp minnow. Only little guys, but a nice surprise.
We absolutely put a pounding on the big smallies. One nice fish after another. The afternoon bite was definately better than the morning.
It was an absolute pleasure to finally get to meet Moosebunk. Our 3 man crew had a great day together on the water. Float had us in stiches all afternoon and the fishing was fantastic!
