The Vlad & Steeler show returns! 4/13/13

It's been nearly a year (so it seems), but the Vlad & Steeler show was finally able to produce a NEW episode.  Good to see you back our there fishing Wayne.  We were also accompanied by James (James D. Rowe from EPFR for a few hours).  Originally, our plan was to hit the North Branch of the Susquehanna River for some FAT smallies! That changed with all the rain this week! Anyway, we then had to settle for PLAN B - Beltzville Lake.  Early in the morning, this CHUNKY bucket mouth was sitting in about 20 feet of water & fell victim to a smoke purple tube.  Thanks for the photo op BIG GAL!

The water was nice and calm for the first hour this morning.  This allowed us to chuck tubes.  Here was fish number 2.  A somewhat respectable largemouth ...

Right before the winds picked up, this NICE pickerel decided to join the party.  Thought it was a musky when first surfacing.  It looked like an awesome fish once its gills flared up.  If the body would catch up with the head, this fish has potential to be a MONSTER!

Wayne didn't have such a great day! Unfortunately, the fish were being stingy and chasing my lures instead.  Sorry buddy!  Just gives you a GREAT excuse to get out again in the very near future, right?  This stick fish was sweet though ....

The winds were unfortunate today.  However, we are die hards and spent the day catching up.  Good day Wayne.  Still beats sitting at home on the couch.  Well, at least when it's NOT football season.  HaHa!

Hey Wayne and James, anyone see my sunglasses?  Oh yeah - they are sitting atop the house at the bottom of the lake now.  Never fun losing your "chick checkin' out" glasses.  Haha!  Just remembered that HUGE smallmouth I lost at the boat Wayne.  DANG!
