Lake O Browns with Mangler

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Lake O Browns with Mangler

Post by S.M.05 »

Been out a few times with Mike(Mangler) and he sure is a determined fisherman and also the first guy ive seen ice 30 some splake out of a single hole in one morn. :shock: (still gotta figure that one out :lol: )
So when Mike asked me to head out for Browns last Mon. I jumped at the offer.

The weather was great with low winds and the first good day of sun. in a while to get the temp up along the shallows.

It wasnt long before we found the fish with nice kype mouthed brown clearing the water on Mikes rod before it even moved the board.
Image

Next pass he was up again with this football. (pic doesnt do her justice)
Image

The good thing about these suckers is that the browns love em. :wink:
Image

Mike caught on more brown early afternoon and then the wind started up so we called it a day and a good one at that.

Very, very nice fish gentlemen! Just a warmup for things to come this Spring/Summer. Thanks for reporting. What are those sculpin looking things in your hand by the way?? I've used some imitations like those for rainbows and browns in some Missouri trout rivers before.
