We had a good turnout and a good time at the night fish-in.
Thanks to Mark B, Chuck, Faz, Ray and his son, Jose, Carlos, Phil and Brian, Pat S, Jon, Says and his fishing partner Som for coming out.
I'll need some of the others to add in their individual reports about what they caught and how, because we met up under I-90 for a few minutes at midnight to compare big fish, but didn't have the usual BBQ time to talk about the details - we just went back out on the water.
Jose and Carlos fished with me in the aircraft carrier. The weather was beautiful and we had the stereo going all night. It was calm all evening with a slight breeze from about 10 PM on. We fished Groat Pt first and Jose caught a 2.4 smallie on a spinnerbait. We went down to Colman Pt after that, but we think we missed the best topwater by about 30 minutes. We had a few good blowups on Sammys, but no takers.
After that, we fished Pleasure Pt and Jose caught a fat 4 lb 9 oz smallie on a dropshot. It was a really nice fish. Jose can add the pics.
After midnight we went back to Groat and Carlos caught a 2 lber on a dropshot while we were moving to another spot with the trolling motor on high. The fish must have grabbed it on the drop, because we were really moving at the time.
I had never been night fishing before. It's everthing good that people have said about it, as far as I am concerned.
Thanks again, everyone, for a cool fish-in.
