I have started a new Thanksgiving Day tradition. Went out the Fox today, Kevin Fox that is. We have been meaning to get out on the pond all summer, finally made it out today. It was a great morning, fog was heavy! Awesome way to start out, definitely like one of those horror movies where you roll into the fog bank and the creature comes out of the water and gets you, LOL. The ice on the ramp had me spooked but the mule did well coming out. Set Kevin up with 7 blade willow brass/nickle diamond pop gear and he started us off good. We ran a worm for a while Kevin got 2 relatively quick, first one quick released which was okay it wasn't that large the 2nd was a nice Brown, yes I said Brown, just off the highway side. We started to turn around and got turned around, I was trying to cut across the bay to the Island and run the dead sea stretch to pick up a couple but it was so thick and the GPS was set to take us to the rabbit hunting ground...any ways we ended up listening for the cars and found the highway again. Kevin traded out for a brassy triple teaser and knocked them dead, if you notice most of the pics with fish are with him holding them ;-). He let me use the triple teaser and I got one in the boat and then lost the teaser in the rocks DOH! So then we went to perch rapala and flat fish pattern, still on the pop gear and Bang a big Bow hit Kevin largest of the morning, he caught another Brown on the perch pattern, very nice. I had a hit and a couple reels and lost one on the way in. We were only on the water for a couple hours and ended up with 7 decent fish, 2 nice Browns, yes I said Browns. What a morning, my new Thanksgiving Day tradition catching nice fish with good friends. Made it home around noon and started the turkey breast on the smoker it is still smoking, hickory/cherry with a special dry rub I came up with, hope it turns out good.... To everyone Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Fox thank you for a great morning, memories and your friendship.
