CG_Fishes Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 This summer I have been working on Onondaga lake on the biomonitoring project. Some of my coworkers are avid fishermen, conventional of course. I have been talking about how much fun river floats are the entire summer. I finally got two of the guys on one today We started the day at sunrise, with me immediately catching a few on the fish30acre z5 I just bought Before too long we were into semi-consistent small fish. Eventually I convinced my coworker to toss a glide around and gave him one to try. Before too long he had his first hookup, a really solid pike in the high 20s. As a bass fisherman he wasn't impressed with the pike but did love the glide bite. We continued down the river, catching a few more smallmouth here and there. I missed a solid high 20s to low 30s pike twice on the TK, rolled up to a tree with a deep hole on the front of an island and immediately caught a decent smallmouth. I kept working the tree and had this 31" pike shoot out and slam the TK and miss. Worked the tree for another 3 or 4 minutes and convinced her to come back and take the bait again, this time right at the kayak. It was a great fight, especially trying to stay out of the rapids. I'm always stoked to get pike but being my first 30 since March I was extra stoked. Pike video - 31.mp4 We kept fishing, moving fish every now and then. My coworker caught his first bass on the glide and I don't think I've ever seen him that excited over a fish before, let alone a 2lb smallie. I was pretty happy to get him started on the addiction. I missed another pike around 30 on the TK, as seems to be a common occurrence. I then caught the biggest smallmouth of the day at 2-12 on the fish30acre. Not a huge fish but definitely a good one for this system. My other coworker then caught his PB smallie at 2-2 right after. All in all a fantastic day for everyone. Trips like this are exactly why I fish, beautiful scenery, amazing fish and great friends.

Phil A. Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Good to see the z5 fish30acre working for you. It's the only one I miss just a little bit. But as long as you catch a few and keep us posted, I'll get over it. Enjoy your fishing adventures! CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
