5/10/08 - The Nock

[Derek777]

went to the Nock today, not sure what conditions to be expecting on arrival. well, the water temps started at 58, and only got up to 60 during the time i fished, 8-3. winds were shifty. made things difficult considering i forgot/lost my boat keys somewhere and have yet to find them, and was forced to use the trolling motor to get around. anyways, i ended up with 4 fish, the biggest around 3ish lbs, another a bit smaller, and two others that were small but fought like champs. my buddy lou from work had a few hits, and actually hooked up on one, but didnt set the hook, and it shook off. all fish were caught between 3-5 ft, on the inside edges of the weedline, where rocks were found. i caught all mine using a 1/16oz owner shakeyhead/jackall flick shake combination. lou was using tubes.
took 2 hours to get the 1000 yards back to the dock in a headwind and got there with no battery showing on the gauge, but it was a nice day overall.

Good job man! Thanks for the report =D>

Nice fish. Too bad about your boat keys, you better find them, there is lots more fishing to be done 8)

yeah, the way the wind was shifting, i thought i was at galena. headwinds no matter what way i went
and im sure the keys are around, im just not exactly sure where, as ive rearranged my tackle a few times since the last time i took the boat out due to the tourney thing, and i have a pile of tackle + stuff in my office about 5ft long by 5ft wide by 5foot high that i need to go through to try and find em.

i think its time for a yard sale.

Good luck findin them keys sounds like a nice pile to sift thru, glad you didnt let the keys stop you from gettin out there. Shakey heads in rocks, catch fish.
