Waited all year!

[Fly Goddess]

Every year we plan a 5 to 7 day trip to Henry's lake and surrounding waters. Last year my trip was cut short due to a death in the family, so I was pumped for this one.
We got here Saturday with winds howling.....no pontooning in this!
Sunday, Cloudy and raining with some wind later....got out for some nice fish.
Monday, Wind, cold and rain...some fish but very slow
Tuesday, sunny and warmed later in the day, but fish have been put down so tuff going
Wed...VERY COLD, sleet and wind from H*%$%
Thursday (today) COLD and the wind hasn't let up all day. I did hook a nice 30 to 32", got to boat and measured but broke off at the sight of the camera.
So, much for my long awaited trip, but.......IT HAS BEEN WORTH IT!

Hey Joni,

When Mother Nature kicks some bad weather in your face, kick back!

I guess that Minn Kota doesn't hurt the cause either!

Way to go girl! And thanks for sharing the pics.

Best fishes,

Terry

Joni,
I'm glad you were able to get in some fishing despite the weather. Those are very nice cuttbows that you caught!
Thanks for your report!

Great shots. Nice looking fish, and as for the weather, well, I suppose it helped to improve the enjoyment factor of the hot rum and coffee and the fireplace at both ends of the day! Well, maybe not all of that at both ends of the day. Afterall, you can't leave a fireplace unattended while out for the day!

Joni -

Looks a lot nastier up there than it has been down here this week.

That is one COOL pic of you out in the "cloud cover" !! Fish ain't bad either.

Glad you had a good time.
