Default B-Wabbit & Z-z Latest Adventure

Dec 01st ... we decided to head out & get some ice time in before Sylvan & Gull open. I didn't have a great day, Scott will add to the story including some pic's of a new P/B trout.

Hit the lake about 9ish (my fault, out late last night).

First hole I drilled got "the Jack" and while we were setting up the shacks and getting settled this bruiser decided to take a swipe and... BOOM!

All thanks to Zip for his expert assistance in landing this bad boy. Only had 6lb fluoro on and he did NOT want to cooperate. Zip reached in to the hole and pulled him out just in time!

All in a great start to the hardwater season based on my new PB Brownie but a pretty brutal day of fishing otherwise. 40 holes or more and this was the only fish landed. We only saw 2-3 more uninterested fish all day.

Packed up at 4ish and thanks to Zip's ingenious tow system we had the gear off the lake and loaded by 4:30. Home and cooled by 5:30.

Cheers,

Scott.

If they're sold out .... $50.00/shipped gets you mine! It may get/have some minor use on Dec 11th, opening day.
