Once again, thanks to Hawk, Bobber and Canadian Bacon, or CB as we know him, for a job well done The cold was absolutely insane on Baitshop Bay
It was blowing steadily, and coldly for the better part of the morning. Just ask my young lad, who spent a pretty good part of the day staying warm in the truck Hard to catch ‘em in there Well I picked a hole and decided to work it, since it was strategically behind the truck to block the wind. Wasn’t long before the first hit came, got it up to the hole, and off it goes
No matter, we’ll try again, about 15 minutes later, I get another, this time, the little fella doesn’t get off
This would prove to be the standard for the day. Couldn’t find a decent sized Walleye even with all the effort and sacrifice I put out These two are typical for the day
I ended up with 5 for the day, and ALL were released actually, considering I was not fishing much in the afternoon, as I was fulfilling my obligation to Wolfe to get lots of pics, I did pretty well
Here’s a couple, of some of the boys standing around gabbing, BTS, RJ and Ron (RJ’s Stepdad I believe), sorry if I got that wrong
Here’s M.T.Livewell, Bucketmouth and BTS.
Here’s ICEMAN and Paul H, two guys I’ve had the pleasure of working with for about 15+ years!
And as was the case for much of the day, visitors could drop by anytime, here’s Float Fishing, Fishforfun and Bucketmouth on their way to visit HOF (Hooked on Fishing).
Speaking of visitors, here comes Salmon, to deliver my bells! Thanks again Salmon
Now, in case any of you ever wondered who the former Dick Hertz is..he does exist. Here he is under his new persona, none other than DUCK GUNNER .
A little later in the day, DV_8 and his son showed up….
After slaying a couple Crappie on Walleye Bay, Slushpuppy and Bowzog decided to try their luck out on Baitshop Bay!
Again, here’s RJ who looks a tad cold, while in the background, Float can be seen chatting it up with HOF !
My fishing partner for the day, BTS, yells over “Hey WIG, I’m not skunkedâ€..beauty!
After the days fishing, everyone gathered in the parking lot for the prize draws…
Here we have “Big†Jim McLaughlin saying a few words which Bobber and Hawk absorb…In the background, Peng, Scumking and Salmon listen intently !
As do Markus, CB and Hoover !
This gentleman, I believe his name was Gaston???, thanks Slushpuppy, was the first prize winner. ( A random draw) Congratulations!
And finally, the gang settles down to listen to another informative session from the “BIG†man himself! Very informative indeed !
All in all, what a great way to spend a day! Managed to introduce myself to a few more Hawk Talkers…
Until next year!
