Needed some alone time to rejuvenate. Took a couple days off and told the wife I was going fishing!. It was a great time to do it. The weather was fantastic. The bite was slower than it's been but still good and no skunkola... that's always a plus from the Mile!
Was on the lake before twilight Thursday and just at light Friday. Still saw some great fish and was able to catch a decent pike.
Both days were beautiful weather wise and today was so warm I was down to a long sleeve shirt. Unfortunately when it got that warm the bite went away. I never saw a fish one after 10:30 today. I should've packed it in after an hour but stayed until 1:30 just waiting for that last wave of fish that never came.
I had a terrible time with batteries. The camera worked fine Thursday but sucked buttermilk today. The Vex battery showed 25% charge but worked fine the whole time I used it. Was very glad that didn't die. My phone died after I sent a text and was ready to throw it in the lake. My pics are all self shots and I have a little mount but couldn't find it so I sat the camera on my backrest of the seat in my hut and and used the self timer. Lucky I got any pics.
Was a great couple of days and gave me time to clear and rejuvenate. I was the only one there both days. Today there were a lot more people but none in the area I've been fishing. I can't wait to get back.
Here are the pics:
Bait thief
Self portrait practice... LOL
Got better!
Perfection! LOL
One of the flags the fish ran to the bottom, I'm guessing, and this is what I pulled out
Scuds galore!
Here's a short video of it (from Thursday)
A couple pics of the pike from my phone... sorry, they came out horrible!
Some random pics
This is what my vex was on for battery power when I turned it on (25%) Friday morning. Worked all day so I was happy for that.
