I asked this question a few years ago in a different Forum but i liked hearing some different answers so it's worth asking here. Have any of you guys enjoyed having a pole or two in the water while you were hunting.
The first one that comes to mind for me was over on Eagle Lake, Ca. We used to shore fish for Eagle lakers and would have a few Dekes out in a little bay along side the point we fished out in the lake off of. We'd sit still in our chairs with our shotguns in our laps and our eyes constantly moving from up and down the lake, and our rods. Lots of fun, some decent days shooting, and back then, the average sized Eagle lake trout was near 4 pounds!!
There has been lots of these combo hunts since those days but last year i found a little lake in the high country north of Chester that i really enjoyed. Deer season, i set up my pop-up camper right on the edge of this out of the way "pond" and had my pole out while i glassed for bucks coming to water along the shore. I caught plenty of good sized trout and watched a bunch of does and fawns eating the plants growing in the lake but didn't happen to get a buck in that spot. Still, it was a great little trip and i'm really looking forward to doing it again in a couple weeks when the buck season in this area opens.
How about you guys? One trip covering more than one base at the same time??
