On my drive down I listened to ike on his podcast. its the only big bass podcast out their and tons of big name pros are on it each week. I have never been an ike fan but he is really cool on his podcast. Coming from kvd land ike is not liked very much but other than his yelling that every fish is a giant the dude can fish.
Had a great 4 hour trip. My son struggled with the wind and my back is not in fishing shape yet. Where I fish at home I never understand stood why people wanted a 36 volt 100 trolling motor. I understand now. Wow those ridges do some crazy stuff with the wind. Seemed like it would come from every direction at times. I also understand wanted a big heavy glass boat better.
Thanks again to everyone this has been a ton of fun. Will be back
8 fish in a short trip this morning. really tough wind light boat. four good keepers with the fishes the day being a two and three quarter pound mean mouth. shaky head was the best bait
Thanks for all the help Everyone. I think I fished too fast today and maybe too shallow. One more day on the rock until next time. Its been a great trip. You guys have a beautiful area. Nice people and beautiful surroundings. We will see how long my old linebacker body last tomorrow. I bet it will feel better if we are catching them.
Thanks for all of your hospitality. This will be an annual trip for my family. If I ever figure out how to post pictures I will show you some Michigan bass this summer.
Humbled today. 5 fish and 5 keepers. Tough morning. One fish on the ned and 4 on the wart. Threw everything but the a rig at them. Ran all over the place. Got one more day. Every one I talked to was struggling. Tough bite
Thanme. I thought that by mid morning if we have not gotten any size I might throw the rig around main lake points a little deeper than we could fish the warts today. I did drag a swing head with a black and red menace but no takers. If the wart is still on tomorrow might not throw much else other than a ned or something to follow up. New day tomorrow and I can fish from 7-6 if I want. So I will probably throw a few things at them and see if anything sticks. Biggest bass so far was from the bank 3 1/2 lb large mouth.
All my a rigs are 5 wire. What do I do with the other two? Tried cutting the hooks off a jig but dont have good pliers. Any other ideas? Just leave them bare? Not sure if I brought extra blades or not.
