Sat May 9th Clinton Reservior Report !
« on: May 11, 2009, 08:34:10 AM »
Met Steve in Riverdale at 11:30 am.

Picked up Live Herring and off we went.

We arrived at Clinton Reservior at 12:10 pm.

There were guys fishing for stockies at the Launch ramp and these guys would not move  >:(

So there was only 1 thing we could do was Launch Steve's 16 ft Monark   ;D

Steve suggested we slow troll Live Herring before getting to the spot.

We had a few hits but we missed both Fish slow trolling.

Steve made a move way in the back of the reservior.1st drift in 42 ft of water Steve lands a 17" Smallie.After the smallie was released we did not get another bite drifting.

Since the bite as slow on the troll & drift and the wind was cranking we dropped the anchor and never got a bite.

It's a good thing we had some Adult drinks in the cooler otherwise it would have been a long afternoon   ;D

Even though the catching was slow we had Fun !

PS the cooler was empty when we got back to the ramp !
