Its all about the fishing right now!

It is fair to say that I love to bowhunt. However I also share my bowhunting infatuation with my love to fish. Like bowhunting I dig both heels in and dive into fishing during the dog days of summer. Right now my brain strain happens to be on fishing for laketrout. I have been fishing alot with my oldest son Tyson at the cottage for laketrout. We have been doing well, averaging a laker an hour. Last weekend my son Tyson and I, along with my best firend Shadd Smith caught a smallmouth bass in 200 feet of water at a depth of at least 65 feet, on a blue and silver williams wabbler spoon with a Dipsy Diver. Who would have thought? Thats a first for me. I have been letting out 175 feet of line, with a flurocarbon leader. I find that fishing allows me to get my focus off of bowhunting for a couple months, although I have been shooting a couple times. I plan on getting out smallmouth fishing aswell, and hopefully land a 6 pounder! That has been my unfullfilled goal for long time. If I do land a 6 pounder...I will scream, so plug your ears!!
