Lake Geneva Report 09/27/07

[Lee Borgersen]

Thursday 9/27 report;


Wednesday 9/26 fished with Jim Key during the first day of a cold front and the smallies were a little on the finicky side, but still active. We wound up with 21 smallies.


Today 9/27 I fished with John and his dad Steve. We started at 5:45 am and really enjoyed the view of the harvest moon while trolling. We only got one short strike working in the dark. As soon as daybreak broke the pike were in the mood and were chasing our offerings. We thought mike had hit the mother load when he got a solid slam and the drag was hauling out fast. I flipped the motor into neutral, but the drag was still going out so I hit reverse until we gained some ground. Everyone had giant pike on the brain until we got the pike in closer. It seems that John had snagged a nice sized pike square in the back.


 If we'd of lost that one without seeing it, who knows how big It would have been estimated to be?   After 3 more short strikes and 3 pike landed we switched over to chasing Old Bronze Back. The smallies were in a tad closer today around 25 ft. We wound up with 28 smallmouth today. What a great Father and Son outing on a trip that will not be forgotten any time soon.


** NOTE
Congratulations to Ray and Kris Majeski who fished with me last Friday. Kris landed a 20" smallie today on a spot I guided them to last week. :rock:


See ya on the water,

Lee
