Did a couple of chores early this morning and wife said, "You are free the rest of the day"
My plan was to go down the boat and rig up a few more circle hooks/leaders and replace the two bottom rigs we lost while attempting to fish for spot
. Just a day to "tinker" a bit at the boat.
My cell rings and Mlag says he's headed to his boat and would I like to go catch a few spot. Remember; he gave me about 20 the other day, so I said sure, let's replace those you gave me.
I get to his boat and he says, "We have to put a few rock in the boat first"
Can't argue with that logic, so he throws a couple of net full of spot in the live well, and off we go. Mark always has been a live linning master. Circle hooks hasn't slowed him down
He easily hooks up double the fish I do.
We only needed 4 fish, so he quit fishing to allow me to get my second keeper in the box (thanks bro).
We were fortunate to put 29 spot back into the bait well. That at least replaced my 20 and may have covered the ones we used to get our limit today. So while he didn't Gain any bait, he Recovered the last two days of bait
Every time I'm on his boat, it's a learning experience. After two outings with circle hooks, I believe I'm getting more comfortable with them.
I came home with a couple of nice filets, and a positive fishing experience. Not bad for a day that I didn't plan to get out on the water.
