A "Golden" Moment

Legends Outdoors regulars of Jay and his father Mike were back at it again for yet another outing.  Along for this trip was Jay's son Alex who has been out with us before as a young up and coming angler.  The day would start out very chilly and still as the clear February skies shone brightly early on this day.  The tent was set up for the group to do some jigging inside for a while before moving about more during the day.  Tip-ups were strewed about the area that this trio trekked to in hopes of some Lake Wallenpaupack winter action.  The action was moderate and spotty in both the jigging category and tip-ups.  Some of the fish that struck the tip-ups ran them into the wood and pulled free.  Alex was laser focused on his jigging skills and was using the Vexlar to assist in his approach to catching the fish that swam below.  He was doing very well and learning as usual at a rapid pace.  Amidst the fishing they were treated to some fried panfish that had a nice batter and dipped into Chef Dave's special Jalapeno BBQ sauce for some kick.  That really hit the spot for lunch on a chilly day such as this.  The anglers compiled some bluegill and perch during the day and Alex would coax a rarity into biting his jig rod in a massive 10" golden shiner that he was all smiles to pose for with!  As usual it was a fun outing for this three-generation group and the day would eventually wind down and they would take the long walk back to shore and start pondering their next outing with Legends Outdoors.
