A good weekend of fishing .
« on: Jan 27, 2008, 06:13 PM »
Started off at the horne pond derby . Had a great time . NO trout ,
but had a great time out there . Thanks tbtool and all your staff for such a great event .

Today I fish Highland . Got a great start with a bunch of flags . I started drilling holes at 5:30 and didn't get in the shack until 7:30 or so . then the bite for me slowed down . At about 9:30 I went and picked up my son . Then he took over on the catching . My traps died and his took of with a bunch of bass pickerel and white perch . By the end of the day we had about 12 people out at the shack . Had a great time all day



This was the bunch I picked up by 7:30




OK SLAMON ? BROWNS ????





Then my son took over







Then its time to pick up and go home

Nice fish.  Got to love it when you bring the kid out and they do better than you.  Nothing better than a big smile on their face.

stop by any time . We are out there on the weekend mostly . Work all week .  Our shack is the one behind my son in pic 4 .

Nice fish Baster
We weren't too far from you, we have the big camo shack. Stop in some time.
I got to get down sometime to see ya down there . My brother said he stopped by with my son on a trip around the lake .  Feel free to stop by our shack if you get down the south end .



Thank all for the comments

As far as browns or salmon go I was thinking the bigger one was a brown and the smaller one was a salmon . I checked the dental work and going by the fish id guide in the Maine law book they are both browns ???   I'm not to sure .
Both were taken from the same hole back to back . I caught the bigger one and then while I was resetting the trap the second one took the bait before I could get the trap back in the hole . 

I also had another weird thing happened to me . My brother was setting his traps and I was getting perch flags . He had the bait so I just set them back with no bait until I could get the bucket and come back and rebait them . I got back in the shack to warm my hands for a bit before rebaiting and one of the baitless traps had a flag ?  went to check it out and the line was running off it . set the hook and landed a perch on a baitless red hook  lol . I guess I'm sold on the red hooks ..  ;D

gasblaster, i had that happen to me on the north end last weekend, got into a mess of um, and every time i put it back down there was another perch, even with out the bait, they loved the red hooks, probably gonna bring the  jiggin rod next time and if i get into the perch again see how many i can get before they scatter
