My brother and I had our yearly spring trip to Fork and we fished with John Tanner like we have for the last 11 years. Although the temps were nice, the wind was BRUTAL on Thursday and Saturday. Thursday our biggest fish was 5#. Friday we had a 10.1 and a 7.2. Saturday we whacked em with two 8s, 7, 6.5, 6 and lots of 4-5s. All our biggest fish came off beds (over 5#.) We lost a big one Saturday right after two 8s in a row. My brother set the hook and the rod snapped. Got her to the boat, tail walked and snapped the line. She was bigger than the 8s, would guess 9+, could possibly have been my brothers first DD. It was deflating, but that's fishing. I want to than John Tanner for a wonderful trip as usual! Now its time for some Smallies in PA.

Its a homemade bait I made to fish Falcon. I get bored in the winter up here. Its 6.5" long and almost an ounce of plastic.

Man yall did great! We only managed a few small fish. Guess yall were in the right area. We didn't see many bed fish. The wind was rough.

yea, the wind was brutal. We caught probably caught 30 fish Friday, but only the biggest 3 coming off beds. Saturday was the day it seemed like they pulled up.
