North Farms Resevoir
Message:
Took the afternoon off yesterday and went to North Farms with Ron (O2BFishing) to try our luck there as it was the first time there for the both of us. WOW!! What a weed bed that place is. Lily pads everywhere and I thought Silver Lake was bad! :D Anyways got on the water at 1:30 with blue bird skies and 82° water temps. Fished in 6inches to 4 foot depths as it doesn't get much deeper there. Flipped a watermelon tube at the pads and had 4 strikes, boating a 3 pound largie and losing one in the weeds that went much bigger (saw it on the strike) because I could not get the fish to the boat and the boat with a weed choked prop was not getting any closer to the fish. Ever try fighting a fish and trying to clear your trolling motor prop at the same time! :( Anyways also caught a trophy size crappie on a full size spinnerbait. Damn I was impressed more with the crappie than with the 3lber I caught! Ron did not get one hit all day. Definitely was a tough day at a tough place. Hi-light of the night was going back to the launch and watching 2 guys with a inflatable raft with a martini mixer size trolling motor that was velcroed/tied to the raft trying to launch. What a sight that was!! Could not stop laughing because in the 20 minutes that we watched them as I loaded my boat they did not get 20 feet from shore because either the motor kept falling off or the prop would get choked with weeds. :D Watching those 2 definitely made my tough day better. First time posting a pic so if I do this correctly the pic of the 3lber should be below. Sorry for the long post. And Mark thanks for your help! I gotta learn to hold the fish in front of me and more of a side view. [img:d1ee5b3896]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1837[/img:d1ee5b3896]

Marc, with Mark's (just4fun) help it turned out OK. Now I gotta work on catching fish like Mark and posing like him! (he's my hero):D. Seems like everytime I bring a camera I jinx myself into catching anything worthwhile.
