What a beautifull evening to be out fishing! With everybody doing so well, I was expecting the same. My oldest son and I made a mad dash after work. He boated one around four pounds & I lost a fish twice that size. He came unbuttened after a couple of pretty good runs. We had a few other hits without hook-ups. We had hopes of catching some on flies. But, that didn't happen. We picked them up with orange & gold jointed Rapalas. Next time we'll run the Rapalas on the fly rods! Sorry no pics.
Sharp hooks & Tight lines to all.

Next time though you may get them on the flies LOL. Glad you had fun though and hope you get out again soon.

Hey Malottguy, I'm stuck on call for the rest of the month. I now have the time to smoke the fish we didn't catch.LOL My next outing may be for Bass & or Walleye. I know we didn't get skunked but, for as good as everybody else has been doing it feels like it.

When I fished RW earlier in the week there was certainly a big difference between artificial lures and the bait. When I was casting spinners I was catching a small number of smaller fish. Once I switched to going deep with powerbait it was basically lights-out ridiculous. Can't c&r that way (they swallow the hook about 90% of the time) but you'll get fish almost instantly.

Hey platapus22, Next time I'll keep that in mind. It was a beautiful evening & dark came too soon.

But the evenings sure are nice on Rufus Woods. Glad to hear you were out there terrorizing the fish AFK. I need to try to catch some on the fly rod. I got a nice (entry level discontinued model) 8wt Sage Last winter that I need to get a hog on. Maybe Someday. LOL
