20150830-.MASTER ANGLER BULLHEAD and some TOP TIER MICHIGAN PANFISH

20150830- So I had a generous offer to take my boat out on the local lake yesterday during some great weather. I jumped on it! Sure a different feeling having all the electronic conveniences as well as an outboard motor to fish with for a change. We launched the boat in the midst of a huge flying ant hatch with calm water and a temp of 74 degs. Perfect! We positioned the boat in our first spot and started dropshotting crawler bits and pink waxies. Once in awhile the variable light winds would stir and deposit the flying ants on the surface of the water. Fish started feeding everywhere on the surface! It was a Problem at first since we were fishing on the bottom. After things settled we started catching fish on the drop shot again with crawlers out producing waxies at first. Earl then tag his bonus Trophy Yellow Bullhead of 14.5” awesome fish!! It’s a great feeling when you can put guests (especially family) on fish particularly trophy once in a lifetime fish!
Many B’Gills and P’Seeds between 7.5” and tops at 9.5” crappies to 12.2”. we wanted to continue into more of the night with the rising full moon but my arm started aching and giving out… so had to pack it in. what a great outing!
