She was a chilly one last night

[DTro]

Last night I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Kyle B, his little brother (Chris I think, sorry I'm bad with names) and the legendary Dark30

Instead of hitting some old favorite spot, Dark studied some online maps and we did some good ol exploring. Finally decided on a small creek with an adjacent hole. Lots of baitfish and just plain looked "fishy".

About five minutes into it, Kyle's bullie he dropped right next to the boat got "thumped". He felt for the fish and watched the line go right at us and stop. He handed the pole to his brother who proceeded to "give it the onion". Solid......too solid, the fish went right into a tree. No fish...

Kyle was the man the rest of the night, having a lot of runs and boating 4 fish I think, every fish did the same thing, pick up the bait and go straight for the same log. The second one to do it got a lesson in eye crossing that was of couse after Kyle speed reeled to catch up to it.

I also hooked into a nice channel on a bullie.

Had a great time guys! You were troopers braving the cold. I didn't have a lot of warm clothes either, but I have some "extra insulation".

It for sure was a cold night! Atleast the fish were there to keep the action going good and to keep us from thinking how cold it really was!Had a great time!

Dark Nice fish! I hope you had the spool disengaged when that fish hit!

It was great fishing with you guys! Thanks Kyle
