Sorry for the real late post! been layin off the comp for a while now.
Went trout fishing at lookout with no luck... (nov. 12th). Moved to AB around 10:00 am with only 2 trout caught, and saw 2 steelies. We called it at 12:30pm.
I went out and rode my bike for a little bit with the intention of riding all day/night long... Well 3:45pm came around, went home, ate some food, got gear ready and made my way to AB. 1 hour goes by and i have 3 missed hits! -.- I have my 2 rod fishing license so i was fishing 2 rods legally, 1 rod set up with a cured nightcrawler/anise mellow, and the other with green p-bait.
4:45 rolls around, its getting late and dark... fish start rollin. I see a steelie rollin/tailin 5 feet of shore. I real in my bait, check it, its golden! I cast 2 feet from the fish (7 or 8 feet) out, trying not to spook the fish. I usually take slach line out when im plunkin bait. This time a light bulb flashed in my head so i kept a good amount of slack line.
Set my rod on my "rod holding stick" walk away and start to hear my pole bashign around/falling. I turn to look at me pole going off! Going crazy, insane! My real got stuck at the top of the "pole holding stick" with the rod tip in the water... bouncing up and down! Asecond later and a silver rocket comes flying out, then so does my rod off the rod holder! I thoguht fer sure i was gunna lose this set up and the steelie.
The end of the rod handle was about a food from the drank while everythign else is in the drink! Grab my rod and nhe takes off towards my other line, fight this fish around my other rod/line and get it in, bairly hooked and a nice fat hen.
This is how she cut... pretty dang good for this time of year!
