PG Report: 9/26/06 .... Process

My Brother James and I set out For a little Large Mouth Bass Fishing at 10:15a.m. And Fished until 11:55a.m. The Fishing wasn’t Slow I hooked up on my second cast using a black soft plastic. But then it slowed for me, as the sun was making it’s way to our right and the shallows started getting clearer I switched to a Brown Plastic Nailing them Quicker !! James was Throwing a Bait in Which imitates a tiny minnow to match the forage swimming near us, then switched to a black plastic. We were fishing a sloping point slowly dropping into 3-4 feet of water most fish were caught in 3 feet of water near slight weed growth. the fish were pretty aggressive really pounding the lure ! It was a great although short get together. Hopefully I’ll be able to give you guys a wonderful Report this weekend out of a location I’m not positive on yet.

Heres Pictures of Our Outing !

PG Report: 9/23/06 ..PreGame

This Morning Neil And I Arrived about 4:30a.m. Fished the Mouth of Montrose until 5a.m. Afterwards we went to the Park Bait shop where I purchased a Flasher. Then we proceeded to The Horseshoe. Fonsnook was already there and Clifford had Landed One Brown Trout. We fished until 7:30a.m. Most fish Caught today Were Apparently Snagged some how or another as was mine, Clifford Snagging his on top of it’s head with a Jr. Thunder stick And I snagging mine on the Tail with a Light Orange Spoon. I Tried Throwing it back But It Was Floating and Didn’t Look Like it would be revived so we Re-netted it and I brought it home and Gave it to my Neighbors (better then a Waste). The Fish Not being able to swim away was entirely my fault on in-proper handling, One I didn’t keep it low to the Ground So when it Had Wiggled away it fell Hard. Two Because Of the Fish wiggling so Much the Pictures Took A little Longer then usual. I’m Kind of down on the fact I told my self; Next fish I caught was released whether it is a Silver king or a Trophy. Well Hopefully This Evening at Waukegan I get hooked up with a King, Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Almost forgot to mention, chgoEnforcer (Chuck) Was Fishing there today, Maybe he’d Like to Share His Outing When he Gets time Nice Meeting you looking forward to the Outing

Cleaning,Cureing, And Cooking

This Morning Before The Bears Started I Cleaned, Cured And Cooked Some Chinook (King) Salmon From Last Night in Which I caught Fishing The Shorline of Lake Michigan in Cook County Illinois. I Had no idea I had a Female Salmon I've Never Been Positive on how to tell The Differance Between the two, But When I cut Her open There Were eggs Awaiting. I Decided I wanted to Grill My Salmon using Teryaki Sauce. With the Help of Fonsnook I Cured And Cooked my Salmon In Which Tasted Fantastic I ate my Small portion but a lot left for The Rest of The Week/Month. The Eggs Are Still Curieng While I Admire another Great Dominate Performance By Our Hometown Chicago Bears and thank there defence for the Fantasy Points

















I buttered up aluminum foil put my Fillet on The Aluminum Foil Poured Teryaki Sauce onto both sides then sprinkled my seasoning. I wrapped it up and cooked both sides on the Grill for 7 minutes each.

I Poured a Curieng Formula onto the eggs and Then Let them Dry After Drying I cut Pieces of Sqaures out, then Stored it in a Freezer Bag and placed it into the Freezer for later this Fall.

PG Report: 9/16/06 .... Simplicity

After waking up at 6a.m. and Fixing Myself corn beef hash and Eggs over Easy YUMMY, I set out to Hit the River I Arrived and First set my line in the water at 7:30a.m. And I Fished until 10:30a.m. I started out using a Black Soft Plastic with a Jig head With out a tap, So I made the switch to a Brown soft plastic and landed one, Thinking about The conditions and how the first one had bit I downsized my jig head and that was the ticket for the rest of my morning. Making this adjustment landed me 11 More Large Mouth Bass 12 Counting the One Before the Adjustment. This goes to show you how big a difference a few ounces or even a slight color differential could make in having a successful outing. I was Fishing 3 Feet of water Next to a Small Weed Bed Slowly dropping into 5 Feet of water. Fish Weren’t Really aggressive I had to have my hand on the line 80 % of the time, And the Wind didn’t help much either. But The Outing Was Successful And I learned two new things in which i may add to my Winter Arsenal !
