Terry catches salmon in Lake Michigan

Cigars and trout

Friday was Terry's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than go fishing and smoke cigars! We picked up cigars at a smoke shop on State Street and then headed over to Tenney Park to see what the catfish were up to. The catfish were no where to be found; all we caught were 2 drum. Cigars were good though, something you gotta do every now and then.

On Saturday Chuck and I headed north to a trout stream. I wanted to see some trout before I buy a trout stamp (probably next season), and this trip turned out perfectly. The water was clear with plenty of trout. Chuck caught 3 browns and 1 brook, and had about 6 come off the hook as he was reeling them in. He released all the fish he caught.

Sunday I went fishing by myself at Picnic Point and Lake Monona by the terrace. Nothing was biting at the point, but by the terrace I caught a pretty big drum on a spinner. (PR at 14.5")
