Pre Trick or Treat, 10/30
 

First of all, what a beautiful day, fishing in a t-shirt and shorts on 10/30, awesome!

Went to a Halloween party last night, stayed out late, woke up around 9. Talked the kids into a fishing trip, left the dock around 10:30. Had to be back by 3, so we trolled out in front of the Magothy, grabbed a couple of almost or just barely keepers (threw them back as I never want to have that conversation with the DNR guy) and a bunch of shorts. Lots of fun, we were doubled or tripled a bunch of times.

Anyway, getting to be 2pm and I'm getting ready to pull lines. Saw a bunch of birds working bait and thought of Marty's run and gun trolling report. Held off pulling lines.

Trolled through the birds and instantly 6 of 8 rods had fish on them, yeah only three people on the boat. We got most of the fish to the boat and they were all 22-25 inches. Had a tandem with two fish on it, awesome. In the confusion, another tandem wound up dangling 20' behind the boat, a fish grabbed that one and pulled a bunch of drag, aggressive!

We put three in the box, threw a few nice fish back over the side for another day, pulled the other two lines and headed in!

It was a good day and dinner was delicious!

Good job putting the kids on fish:D

It's pretty memorable when "confusion" has rods and fish all over the deck.

Nice report.

Sounds like a good time was had by all!!

Thanks for the report, keep them coming! If you read the guys reports on here you can really learn a lot of neat tricks to try on your own boat. If you take your time and read mine thoroughly you will learn how not to catch fish!
