Plans to fish Mahopac with Joe P got deflated when I received the call that he had some tire problems. No problem...I'll just ask my retired Dad where he wants to go. Rockland, Congers, or Welch. He picked Rockland. Damn good choice Dad!
Things started out painfully slow with not even a sniff on our buzzers. We ran into Ed Pitlak who just fished a couple of hours in the morning and got 7 fish on a variety of techniques, but we were still not producing. That is until my Dad got this 3lb+ fish on his $.99 buzzbait.

I also got a 3lber and then the Hog festival continued the remainder of the day. We caught 12 fish over 3lbs, including my two over 4lbs and Dad with a 5.1lb slob. Our best 5 fish were over 20LBS!!! I also lost a monster that I am still thinking about. This lake is unbelievable!!!!
<center>Here is my 4.1lber:

Dad with bragging rights and his 5.1lber

A 4.2lber that bitch slapped my buzzer.

We even cranked for awhile after KOZ1542 mentioned that he had gotten a couple on cranks. We got two smallies and lost a couple more.

The lake is Pea Green right now with certain areas as thick as wet paint. There was not a ripple on the lake today with great cloud cover. I was in Heaven!!!!!! Best of luck to those fishing the tourney tomorrow. Looks like you guys will have some big potential bags. Sorry I have to miss it.
