Santa took some great photo shots ...

A shot of a fishy looking area, also shows how much the water was down.



So we are over an hour in and not even a hit ... Santa says is that a Coyote ???? I'm like holy sh*t ... Just walking down the shore line, could have cared less that we were about 75 yards away. Right in the center of the photo, hard to see (if anybody is good with resizing photos, i would like help with one)




As we check the dog out Santa snaps a pic, we are not even paying attention to fishing and that when his Pop-R gets slammed. I think he scared the skunk out of the boat for us


Another Pop-R fish by Paul



We pick up a few more here and there, approach another nice looking spot and my tube gets wacked !! I could tell this one had some weight, i'm thinking monster smallie .... NOT ...



But this nice 4lb 13oz LMB was there



I was really shocked, in 1/2 doz trips, over 100+ smallies, not one LM, and this pig shows up I knew there had to be some in there, but wasn't expecting it.


We both managed to lose a real nice smallie during the day, Paul had what would have been his PB at boat side, came unbuttoned. I lost a nice one on that went airborne and spit my Fluke back at me, oh well.

Pop-R,Tubes,Fluke were the best producers.

It was a beautiful morning, fishing was ok, sights & nature were awesome.


Thanks for looking
