TAFKAY
It was a cold and stormy morning.
Well, By the time TAFKAY got to my house, it was a cold and stormy afternoon, but that's to be expected.
;)
we got out to the lake around 11:30 i think and we shot the shit with Coach McGuirk for a while. it took a while to get the boat started but once it was up and running we were soon trolling. the Winds were really whipping across the lake and I had a difficult time maintaining a straight line troll. we decided to head for shallow/calmer water to the west side of the lake.
we finally got out of the wind and were casting in shallo water. he hit the spot between the J-hole and the southern point for some time before moving south along the shore. We didn't have any luck in that spot so eventully we decided to move to the edge of the alpha hole and try our luck there.
We hit a few sppots along the edge of the alpha, using the anchors to hold us out of the wind. once we moved to the far south western edge of the alpha, TAFKAY had his first strike. that was really cool, but the fish quickly got off. Soon after that he got another one on which was putting on a good fight, he loostened the drag a bit and soon enough we got the fish in the boat. we didn't get a measurement on the fish but by my estimate it was near 30".
good fish and a good day to be out despite the "first snow" and cold weather.
This one is for the White tigers, they are the tastiest of all the tigers.
