Fishing and a BBQ brought together a few members of NYBass for a full day of fun. We arrived and launched the boats by 6:30AM and fished until lunch time. To say that fishing was tough would be an under statement. We were throwing everything in our tackle boxes to no avail. At noon we set up the grill for lunch and as boats arrived to the launch for lunch we discussed our successes and failures for the morning. My wife was one of the only anglers to catch a Bass during the morning hours. Seeing her fish got the fellas worked up and determined to catch fish.
After lunch we all got in the boats and launched for the afternoon bite in desperate search for fish. Knowing my wife got a fish in the morning made me determined to catch a fish. I hooked up with a large mouth in the morning that I lost close to the boat so whatever hooked up with me later was getting hooked hard. I eventually hooked up with a pickerel and set the hook several times to make sure he was not getting away. Though I was disappointed I lost my only Bass I was happy to have landed the pick.
