9/5 pick-eye tourney.........

So I took Charlie's advice and went out for some action with my crawlers. Oneida was ok starting with an south to north wind so that kept the waves down. It was rough , but not bad. Between the two of us we got 5 big sunfish, 4 bass, a Pickerel, an eye and a huge bowfin. Today I visited my granny and hit Oswego river. Fished the soft seams at the edge of the river against the wall. Got 2 decent bass that were a pound or 2  and although the water was fast I managed them. I hooked into something in the fast water that peeled 100 yards of line from my reel in no time flat, but never got a look at it. Would have been nice to see what it was. Could have been anything............. pictures to follow when I am not lazy.

This sun fish was huge and fat. Still had eggs over two fingers wide

Nice pics clint! Charlie I fished the conetquot twice back in 91 and 92 in the paper beat section.we ended up with a crappy beat, but was able to walk around and pic through the empty beats with success. We came upon a pond that had a couple huge rainbows and browns in it that we tied in to. Would never pay or travel to fish it again but it was a good time then, especially being a youngster still

So I m going to keep this as my summer thread. Got up to the river at around 5:00. StRted at the town pool with 1 bite. Moved onto the black hole and broke the law and just parked at the fence. Was fishing and some late teen girls walked down and asked if they could swim. Seeing how they asked I said sure and just moved down a bit and around the corner Next thing I  started hearing some giggling and splashing. Looked around the corner and they were down to bra and underpants swinging off the rope and goofing around. Lets just say there was little to the imagination. I got two bass there. I figured I should go and went to the trestle where I got the surprise and the grand slam.  Quite a few bass, what I am guessing  was a king smolt, a HUGE fall fish and drum Roll please..........  a crappie. I have a few pics, no not of the girls, and I will post them later

One may well predict that the Black Hole will be shoulder to shoulder by tomorrow with a fishing report like that.
A truly memorable 4th.

I was thinking a bit last night, because the crappie was caught at the trestle I would guess it ventured from the upper reservoir not from the lake. 

Fished Oneida today for four hours. Got this bass a few really big sunnies and dropped an eye at the boat. Started  pretty windy with a good chop, winds from the southeast, wind switched to a more easterly direction and slowed a little. It was a slow day.

Size 10 or 12 glo bug eggs are sometimes the ticket.
 

I've never even heard of a glo bug ??? What are they???

Yep, any that's tied with the numerous foam yarns. Apricot, Oregon Cheese, and light blue are my favorites.  Easy tie, once you get the technique down. What we weren't supposed to tie for the swap! I'll throw a few  in for you , Andy, though I know you've seen them many times. Just like Lucky said, sometimes they are the TICKET!!!!!

Blue was a great one... Especially with a red or pink dot in the middle

Oh no the secret is out

Sorry if my sarcasm wasn't taken lightly. I just found a little humor in lucky13 coming out of left field with size 10 and 12 glo bugs :) I should know better to not be sarcastic :D

?????...did n't seem that way to me,but then I knew you have seen glo bugs as who has n't....but wait the Chartist might not have.
