Back at the Pack

Mike who has a place on Lake Wallenpaupack and who has been out twice already this year with Legends Outdoors put in another day trying to fine tune seasonal patterns on this scenic Wayne County waterway.  He drove in from New Jersey where he resides and did a solo mission on a cold day with blue bird skies.  Mike did a late morning start and fished towards evening as the calm waters that he started fishing in quickly shifted to some choppy water as the wind picked up during the day.  Some nice sandwiches and beverages were enjoyed during the day and Legends Outdoors even brought along the filleted panfish and pickled pickerel that Mike caught on a previous trip all prepared for Mike to consume at a later date.  This was a good day for quality as Mike caught between 10-12 nice smallmouth bass and one hefty striped bass that was quite a battle taking drag while making grueling runs that weighed in the high 13# range when it was put on the scale.  Just before the end of the trip when Mike caught his last smallmouth bass, cigars were lit up and smoked to put an exclamation point on a wonderful trip.
