NEWBURGH, NY -- Friend & I decided to hit a mystery lake this morning which we called lake "x" today as part of an ongoing joke we have. We launched about 5:15AM with calm waters catching crappie almost immediately. The lake was small so we fished slow and even ripped out the dash board to the boat and tossed it in to see if throwing the kitchen sink would hit a fish on the head & get us something. Unfortunately that didn't work because a fish didn't come up belly up after we did the toss.
About an hour and a half into fishing my buddy John FINALLY pulled what looked like a bass into the boat.
We fished until about 11am and the day turned into a Pickerel fest! We caught pickerel on top water, plastics, frogs...EVERYTHING! By end of day we only found about a handful of bass and about 100 pickerel. I won't embarrass my buddy and mention the lake but heck his photo is embarrassing enough since now you can see who he is. Hehe! :o)
We had a great time despite the terrible choice of lake which was my buddy's idea so we'll just blame him. Had it been a great day then it would have been MY idea. LOL!
