Prettyboy GIANT!! . . .
Well, Shane and I decided to make our final fishing trip for 2012 on Prettyboy yesterday, December 28th. We got a nice start to the day with a great breakfast at New Freedom Diner in Shrewsbury, Pa about 830am and then off to Prettyboy we went. We pulled up the the ramp about 915am and were surprized to see 3 other boats on the water already. Once we launched we found the water temp to be a chilly 43.5 degrees. On our way to the reservoir I made the comment to Shane that we were only looking for 1 fish a piece and anything more than that would be a bonus, if we could even get 1 a piece? Truthfully, for me just spending time on the water with one of my best friends on this day would be satisfying enough. We fished throughout the day and had caught a crappie, 10" smallie, 11.5" smallie, 16" smallie and a couple of other decent fish were on their way to the boat but they didnt make it in the boat because they came unbuttoned. It was getting late, about 4pm and I looked at Shane and said, "Alright brother, I got one last spot that I think could pay off. Give me 15-20mins on this spot and then we will call it a day." We motored over to the spot, dropped the trolling motor and less than 10 minutes later nailed a 21" GIANT to end the 2012 year of fishing.
COME ON 2013 . . . !!!

Thanks, guys! What a beautiful day out there yesterday. Hard to get used to those 7 hour fishing days from the 12-14 hour days in the summer. The winter fishing day goes pretty quick. I hope these next 2 months go just as quick . . .

Great way to close the fishing season Ian!
Sounds like you had a fun day. really wish our reservoirs were open in January and February. I know a few of us crazed fishermen would be out there. See you on the water in March!

Tks, Walt. Yep, I would definitely be fishing until they were iced over. I got a baaaaad feeling that our waters are going to ice over pretty good. Hope not . . .
If it gets too bad, I'll get my buddy to fish Conowingo with his 21' Ranger w/Mercury 225hp outboard. We caught em good last year at the warm water discharge.
Nice fish Ian but I'm pretty
