Gull lake 2 dayer

So at the end of September our Bass club did our annual two day event on Gull lake. I was lucky enough to draw a fella that had been on the water several times before as I had never been there prior to day of. The dock talk was that no one had really anthing going and the suspicion was that 10+ would get you along aways. As we blasted off morning of as always I was gitty and couldn’t wait. We pulled on to the first way point and Dan pitched in and caught what turned out to be the biggest of his day. I caught my limit quite quickly on a jig worm but there were no where near the quality Dan was getting pitching a beaver nock off. This is pretty much how the day went. It seemed I could catch lots of fish just not the quality – I dropped 2 fish that would have helped and Dan lost a few decent ones as well. Overall we caught fish most of the day but we did have a 2 hour stint where we went nearly fishless. It also seemed like we could get bit pretty good on crank baits if you didn’t mind weeding through 6-10 inchers all day. It was a pretty long day of fishing and I could only cull onces. We spent most of the day on weedlines but put a little time in the shallows and that is where Dan caught his final keeper of the day. Even though it took him much longer than me his quality is much better.

Day 2 was a little different story. I wanted the quality but I knew the fishery was going to be stingier with us really beating on it the day before. It started out pretty slow for both of us but slowly Dan put together a limit on a chrome trap. As the morning progressed the wind picked up and what we were fishing the day before was dead. We went and hit a wind blown shore line with thick mats of weeds and started pitching to the pockets and Dan was getting bite by decent fish. I however was trying to be scrappy behind him and he didn’t leave much. I managed one fish under a dock that he never pitched to and one a a spinnerbait over the tops of the weeds and that is all I did for the day. He managed to cull several times and put together a good limit. A special congrats to Stan larson for catching the big fish both days. He found a magic reed patch that he blistered them on 2 days in a row. Got to love a spot that reloads.
After this event I fell a little in the Aoy and since I was not fishing the last event of the year I knew I was going to drop even further and as it turns out I was about in the middle of the pack. Gotta wonder how it woul d have gone if I could have fished the last event of the year on the river. Any way I hope to do better next year as always.
