20151024-KERSWILL lAKE-100 PLUS FISH DAY IN NASTY WEATHER

20151024 ~ after some quick planning Earl and I decided to fish this weekend of the full moon.
He’s been working some heavy overtime and at the last minute made some adjustments to his schedule and made some time to fish this weekend of the full moon. My favorite trophy time. August 28th during the period of the full moon Earl landed a trophy Master Angler Yellow Bullhead.

We saw and anticipated negative weather during the late afternoon and early evening … we loaded the foul weather gear and made off towards the lake. The bite was on and fish were flying over the gunwales. Lost count on exactly how many fish were caught because the camera phone was in its dry case most of the time due to rain. At one point I noticed it was wet and I pulled the battery and called it quits for the phone till it could be thoroughly dried. This phone has been thru hell and back but has always made a comeback. The boat saw 100 fish easily.

The weather later changed drastically from calm and clear to wind howling with whitecaps and horizontal rain at early dusk and nightfall. We fished my favorite waypoints through the storm and caught many of the larger crappie. Felt like we were being filmed in a Deadliest Catch episode. Finally called it quits in the middle of a strong bite because of weather. A trip certainly to remember.
