T G I F

That's it folks, its Friday! Hope all of you had a great week and have many happy hours of family and fun in front of you this weekend. wait a minute I promised a fishing report......

Fishing Buddy Doug and I got out on the lake yesterday afternoon. When we started towards a favorite spot down near Cow Creek there was plenty of cloud cover as well as a little breeze making it a wonderful day condition wise for Largemouth Bass. In the few minutes it took us to get from the dock the sky cleared up and the wind stopped. Suddenly we were under "blue bird skies, and no breeze." The temperature began rising as well as the humidity. The fish went where ever they go when it is to bright to be active! After about an hour of beating the water to a froth, we called it quits and retired to the BBQ grill and cold drinks. We ventured out again just after 7:00 pm, worked our throwing arms until 10:30 or so with very little to no cooperation from the bass population. We threw popping baits, chug baits, crank baits, spinner baits and Lunker Lures. Finally after it got good and dark we threw 7 inch black plastic worms and 7 inch red metal flake plastic worms. Mr. Bass and family did not feel like playing catch with us last night. The Lake level is still almost 917 with the water temp being 83 degrees. The water is what I would call clear, no staining affect at all. Our weather report is calling for clear skies, cool temperatures and little breeze. In other words it will be a great weekend for camping and water sports such as skiing and tubing.
