Dec 29th End of Year Fishing

Been a little bit behind in my writing.  There has been a lot going on during the holiday season.  I was just able to stop for a second and do a couple of blog posts.

What else can I say here? The picture says it all. This is the reason you get up and go fishing! Caught a really nice smallmouth bass at Maramec Springs Park to close out the year.

Lil' Shaka also caught two nice smallmouth bass on this day as well.  He hit one on a hair jig and the other one on a jerkbait.  I caught all my smallmouth bass on jerkbaits as well.

We also caught a bunch of rainbow trout and brown trout on this day as well.  The only species that we did not catch was the "Goggle Eyes" which are normally found in the park as well.

As you can see from my notes, I caught plenty of Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Smallmouth Bass.  What a day to remember.  Lil' Shaka caught the same amounts as well.

This was one hell of a way to close out the year with a great fishing day.  It is normally much colder when we go too.  But on this day the air temp was close to 60 degrees.  You could feel a warm breeze blow against your face for most of the time we were fishing.

I am usually wearing 5 more layers of clothes, but it was quite pleasant outside in just a sweatshirt and long sleeve undershirt. A great memory shared with my son on this day.  Any day you catch 20 fish together is a win, especially in December!

Stay Committed, Stay Driven!
