Bantam River 6/26
Message:
Got out around 5:15am. It was a mite foggy for a while. I decided to try some Texas rigging which I have not done a lot of. With a 5" black Senko and a 5" watermelon flaked Dinger that PECO gave to me the time we were fishing it. Did pretty well caught 2 off the get both on black 1st was13", 2nd was 14" fished down to the circle (I forget what PECO refers to it as) The bend right before it I got a 16" of the watermelon. No luck in the circle. So I fished down to where Phil caught caught his 3.1lber and where I got the large on on a pervious post. I had switched to fishing wacky style. On my first cast a hit a big LMB at least 3lb. fought it for a few it came out of the water a good foot on entry it spit the hook. Glad there was no one around. A few bombs came out . All in all I caught 5 or 6 two I did not measure do to lack of size. Good day, unforunately back at the launch if you want to call it that. My phone decided to commit a Kamakazi dive from my shirt pocket to the river. Not sure what possesed it to do that?. My phone never is out of my water tight bag till Saturday. I guess I'm lucky It was not like Kira's and others the have lost much better phones. First time this has happened to me and it is a pain the ass when you get so dependent on technology, and how fast it will cripple you. Will post a couple of pics later in the week. Tim

I should have met you out there. My in-laws didn't even show up until after 10:30 AM. Hey, are you absolutely sure that there are northern pike in there? My father-in-law and I saw [b:dd0ba86ebe]a lot[/b:dd0ba86ebe] of chain pickerel on Sunday, but no northern pike. He landed four decent-sized ones (i.e., 18 to 21 inches) and intentionally shook off more at his kayak. I lost one decent-sized one and we each had several strikes from little ones that we could see pretty clearly were chain pickerel. One little guy hung in the water next to my kayak for 30 seconds, just staring up at me. I think he was saying, "Throw that worm in here again. I dare you."

Thanks for the photo, Tim. I hadn't seen one of these since I was 12 years old: [img:b8086c0e47]http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/284/northernpikebytimfeeney.jpg[/img:b8086c0e47] I gotta catch me one of those! I guess I'll start throwing a spinnerbait.
