Took a trip over to the Quincy lakes this weekend with Nick, his girlfriend Kelcey, Chris Rider and his girlfriend, and Myself and Danielle. The trip started off real bad Friday night, with the traffic stop and go from Issaquah to the Summit on I-90. Finally arrived at camp around 11:00, after leaving here at 6:30. Usually only a two and a half hour trip. Nick met us with cold beers, and fish stories of monsters days of largemouth fishing the few days prior.
The next morning Chris and I head out to chase Tiger Musky, throwing large paddle tail swimbaits and hard swimbaits such as 7" Triple Trout and Tru Tungsten Bluegill (both proven musky catchers). No dice... So we head in for breakfast. We go back out chasing largemouth and have a mini tournament 3 boats go out with not much to show for it. "Team America"(my team) vs. "Team Shitfaced" Nick and Chad vs. C-Ride. C-ride would have won, but didn't bring his fish to the "weigh-in", too bad. Team America prevailed with a monster largemouth measuring about 11" even small for Sessler's standards, tough fishing.
During breakfast, Nick didn't tie his boat up to well and it started floating away, thats when we found out that swimbaits catch boats too!
That night Team America found them and prevailed again,
(Photographer was drunk...)
Shortly after we arrived back from bassin, the carp fishing was on, Corn was the ticket:
The next few days followed a similar pattern. Senkos and Jigs proved to be best for Bass, while corn was head and shoulders above the rest for Carp.
(Doing our best Hobbs/Wolsky impression)
And the girls found ways to stay busy while we were gone....Mojitos!
Kelcey did end up catching a Musky on a pink X-rap of all things, Nick will post pictures later.
Let's see some more pics from this weekend from everyone else.
