Well, not really slacking but rather wimping out due to the chilly mornings and other assorted excuses – but since I haven’t posted any decent fishing pics lately, I thought I’d post some nice pics of an outing one of my readers recently had in northwestern Pennsylvania.
As he said: You may be rewarded with a nice bass,
Not much, except they both took up my entire Saturday.
Yesterday morning four of us headed out to Gosam lake for some fall bass fishing. We rented boats and were in the water by 6:45 – those of you who were up at that time (and I have a feeling there aren’t many of you that fit into this category) know it was pretty nippy out so Ty and I immediately headed for any spot that wasn’t in shade. Jim and his boat-mate, however, headed straight for the other side of the lake which doesn’t get sun until later in the day due to the hills and trees along the shore.

LOL, actually it wasn’t a total skunk – Jim, Ty, and I headed over to an area near Asan Bay where we had really good luck this Spring and fished there for about an hour, then headed back towards Camp Humphreys and fished a few stretches of the Anseong River. I think we caught a total of 12 fish but they were all small in size, and not even worth wasting the batteries of my digital camera. I did, however, manage to get a pretty decent sunburn on my arms – considering it’s October 10!
This afternoon I drove over to meet Rob, Gar, and their friend Ron for some boat fishing on the Anseong river near Camp Humphreys. I arrived at the designated meeting place around 12:45 and they came down river to pick me up shortly after. Gary came ashore and got his inflatable boat out of his van since there was only room enough for 3 people to fish from Rob’s boat. But when Rob tried to start the motor on his boat, something had apparently seized up because the thing wouldn’t turn over. Gary, however came to the rescue and offered to tow us to the island in the middle of the river so that Rob and I could fish there while he and Ron fished some other areas.
Finally, finally, finally.
