tippy outing - lonehunter - 08-08-2004
well me and the crew went to tippy dam yesterday where fishing was a little tough .
we mostley cought smallmouth bass with just a couple of browns to fill in the gaps .
our highlight of the day was rescuing this snapper that was trapped in the swirl in the water discharge coffer . he was almost limp when i was able to grab him and set him up on shore untill he was able to take off on his own .
from his scarred shell he musta been either sucked from the lake above the dam or had been tossed along the rocks below the dam for quite a while . as we did not catch him for anything but his rescue we aren't going to put him in the 16 species contest .
the spring rains really transformed the bottom of this area , there were more snaggs here than i have experianced over at the footesite . fall fishing will be more of a challenge this year .

he swam ,i wanted to show the kids ( although it would have been legal to keep since he was cought by hand in the water ) that fishermen and hunters alike can help out critters in distress if safely done .
thats a 1 liter dew bottle in the water , not a whimpey 20 oz. one . the snapper was about 14" across and it took a little over a half hour before he started to walk .
two of the troop are from maine , the other is my little bro . like those shirts ? the michigan chapter has recruted future members to another states board .
