Say hello to my little friend
« on: December 09, 2011, 03:36:40 pm »
I landed this 20" 4 pound female brown in CFR. I was trolling a crank bait with LC line 4 colors down. This brown was a fighter, released in good shape.  The wind was pushing me close to shore, i was about 40 feet from shore when it hit. 

-Water temp 47 degrees
-Marked a few fish at 30 feet deep
-Bulk of the fish were 40-60 feet deep

Way to go John! Alot of guys say to me that it's hard to connect with Browns
in he summer. But personally I think it's harder when the can be anywhere in
the water column. Good job!

lol, it is tough landing a good pic when you are fishing solo.  I keep a small joby tripod in my tackle box and set the timer on the camera.

Gorilla Pod, right? Thats what I have. Got it from LL Bean for like $15-$20 I think. Its awesome, it can attach to trees, or stand on its own, etc.

I never seen the water the way it was today. Lots of fish concentrated in one area and zero fish in other areas.  I am thankful for my fish finder today.
