The sleepness nights are over, as I finally got to go fishing on my new pontoon boat that Jill got me for my birthday! Thank's for the early present sweetheart, I love it!I haven't been able to sleep at night with all the crazy thoughts of all the fish I was going to catch and what I was going to catch them on? Where am I going to put my poles, am I going to sink in the water, am I to big for this boat, am I going to fall off the seat, is it going to tip over?
Well, I made it the lake last night, put everything together and in the water I went. The wind was blowing a little bit, as I used the oars and my kick fins to get across the bay. It took a while to get the hang of things and I had to adjust the oars a couple
of times before I was rowing like a pro. The only problem was, I lost one of my new gloves that feel out of my pocket and two of my good fly's blew out and were floating in the water and I wasn't able to get them back.I finally got my poles in the water and within 30 minutes had my first fish.
I was really excited, it was like I didn't believe there were fish in the lake and then to catch one, was awesome. I was thinking to myself, I remember this feeling of catching fish and it was so fun the feel the fish giving a good fight.
It was alot of fun getting this fish in the net, it didn't like getting to close to the boat.
The next fish came 20 Minutes later and I had thoughts of a great night of fishing.After landing the second, the fishing slowed down and I was able to get my way back to the shore. I threw out my pole and caught a third fish as I was putting my things away.
Real fun day and look forward to many more.
Next week it's out to Flaming Gorge for the Villa Fishing Derby. Can't wait to post the photos of some big winning fish.
