After Work Trip

Well get out of work at 3:30pm on Thursdays in Hanover so set up an after work deal with a co-worker. Made a pit stop at Dick's and then my GPS got confused putting me 30min. behind schedule. Well we knew weather was coming in and cooked to get on the water asap.

We staid in the very first cove we set off in and on the first cast I grabbed a 3 pounder on a buzzbait. Buddy caught golden looking hybrid/white perch (should have took a pic). Missed a hit on buzzbait and no follow up hit on slug. Buddy was tossing a small pop-r and got a nice hit but lost the fish on a fouled up reel. I was tossing my burner spinnerbait and was getting slammed by 4 keeper plus bass.

Hit some pads and missed a blowup with again no follow up strike. Buddy starts catching some short to keeper size bass on a bettlespin/inline minnow type bait. Storm is rolling in so beeline for shore and at the pull out point we manage 3 picks before just getting off the water ahead of the storm.

Not a bad trip by any means for only about 90min. on the water. Some nut ball was still out there jet skiing as all hell was about to break loose in the sky.
