You may bash me for this post I deserve it.
To start I forgot my heavy pole at home. But while up there I decided to go for macs anyways. The heaviest line I could find was ten pound up there. So I went for it, I rented a boat at cedar springs and took off. I put a 3oz. weight and a 4oz. rainbow mega bait charlie on, and started dipping it down the water thru my hand. It only made it about 40 feet then it stopped dropping, so I JERK the pole up just to think I was snagged untill a few seconds later my line starts peeling off. It was getting close to the end of my line so I turned the engine on and chased it which worked great. But after twenty minutes and chasing it with the motor, I allowed my line to get limp for too long just to find the only weight was my sinker[mad]. The hook got out and I got me a good ol' sore back and wrist out of it,and funny pics of my pole bent right in half. So folks come prepared unlike me. The rest of trip was a murder spree on the rainbow and kokes. Some dam nice sized rainbows too. I hit the green for a day for some fly and lure action. Caught quite few with the little grey scud and a beautiful cutt on a panther martin. All fish were released and i'll have photos later
