Ahh yea, I’m slowly getting back to my old ways of before the pandemic. I’m bouncing around the country and world again. It feels good to be back in such action. On Wednesday night/Thursday morning Granny and I traveled from Hayward, WI to Wolfeboro, NH because this weekend is Mom’s 80th birthday. This afternoon I snuck out for a couple hours with my sister and fished some boat ramps and docks on Mirror Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee.
Its Friday before Memorial Day weekend so things were heating up with boats and people. There’s a lot of chaos around the ramps and docks with out of practice boaters. Not only are the fish weary but so is every other animal. This beautifully colored common water snake was searching for a hole under the docks to hide for the next 72 hours.
Our fishing was incredible. I didn’t get serious by any means. I simply grabbed my 4-weight and a small panfish popper and went to casting. All kinds of panfish chowed it down. I caught numerous pumpkinseeds and redbreast sunfish, one largemouth bass, one smallmouth bass, a rock bass and several tiny yellow perch.
That’s all for now. Tomorrow is Mom’s actual birthday and we have big plans ranging from riding the Mt. Washington to dinner at O’s. But we’ll be back on the water soon!
