Familiar Faces

Mike, who is a Legends Outdoors faithful got the itch for an early spring trip and invited his brother Mark and friend Wayne who both have also been with Legends Outdoors before for a trip with the Lake Wallenpaupack fishing guide.  They went to his summer home at this scenic lake and ventured out on the Legends Outdoors pontoon boat for their outing.  The weather for this day was foul to be blunt.  The winds would top 20-30 MPH out of the N-NW direction and air temperatures were in the 30's for the day with very little sunshine what-so-ever!  This hard core trio of anglers braved the elements and withstood the challenge as they seined the 40-45 degree water.  Their determination rose above as they persevered by hooking into two striped bass, (one being a hybrid) and landing them both after ferocious battles.  They were both released safely back into the lake. They also caught a pickerel and a bakers dozen of hefty perch that were kept for harvesting.  They seen a myriad of wild life on the day including numerous bald eagles soaring around in the high winds.  Wayne really punctuated the trip by bringing his traditional hoagies that he gets from a special deli somewhere near his residence that energized the group for the day.  Another great day for Mike and his crew and we at Legends Outdoors look forward to seeing Mike again in the near future for another outdoor adventure.
