Lake/Pond "X" Fishing Report

A Couple Of Guys Fishing And Having Fun!

I was on vacation this past week and have been meaning to hook up with Mark "Pepe" Degrenier", one half of the famous "Landlords" team for some time. Every time we tried to get together from as far back as last year, something would come up at the last minute for one of us. This time, the stars all aligned and we met up.

It was a nice warm day, but clouds above kept the temps just right and made for some good fishing as well. I met him at his house at about 2pm. We headed out right away to a body of water that he likes to go to from time to time that we'll call "Lake X" out of respect. I don't want to blow up his spot, as we've all been discussing on the board as of late.

The day started out pretty good, as we both were catching quite a few fish, all getting progressively bigger as the day went on. About an hour before we called it a night, Mark hooked into a 3.80 Larry that looked much bigger than that. But the scale said what it said, so be it. Then Mark started hooking into a bunch of rats (about a pound or so) as he calls them. I started getting snagged left and right and the fishing slowed for me a bit. We decided to try a different part of the water, so off we went.

After we both started catching a few fish (which by the way were pretty much all jumpers, making for some exciting landings), Mark let me take the front of the boat and move us all over the place with the trolling motor. THAT was a cool feeling and something I can get used to real quick! Sooner than later I hope. So I hooked into something midway into the lillys and after a decent fight, Mark netted the fish for me and we had a 4lb, 8oz in the boat. High fives commenced and more fishing we did. BTW, Senkos were the bait of the day. I did catch a couple on 2.5 KVD squarebills as well, but the rest were on Senkos.

My host had to work early the next morning and was getting a little tired, so we made the call to fish one last shoreline with lillys and then the night would be over in about 15 minutes. A few cast for both of us and BAM! I thought I hooked into an alligator the way the fish hit. After another decent fight, Mark netted the fish and it was another nice Larry @ 4lb, 7oz. We fished a few more minutes after that and made our way in to the launch. After waiting for a group of yackers to load up their rigs, we pulled his boat out of the water and drove off back to his house.

I just want to thank Mark for being a gracious host, sharing some tips, letting me drive his bass boat around a little (big motor and trolling) and just being great fishing company all around. Best five fish were about 16-17 lbs easy, not to mention all the 1.5-2 lb'ers we caught in between. Any time you need a partner Mark and don't mind taking this guy along, I'd love to join you bud!
