Trip Report 5-14

[Professor Jim]

Put in at CC around 10:30 and fished until 2:30. Visited a deeper cove up the lake about 2 miles and caught at 4.5 lb. walleye and some bass on a 6" pumpkin Finesse Worm with a 3/16 oz. Shakey jig head. Caught another bass in a shallow cove and then moved to the shoreline closer to CC and fished around bushes and downed trees with a green Chompers jig and caught many bass. All in all a good day on the water, even if the wind was a bit irritating at times. It does seem that the Shakey jig head helps imitate a leech. Garlic spray also seemed to help as we must have been fishing in an Italian neighborhood.

Sometimes I wish I knew what the fishing will be like two days in advance.....

Crap, I need to change my Terry Redlin calendar next to my desk, from April to May. The second Wednesday in April was the 14th, the one in May is the 12th. Oops!

BTW - The May picture is Evening Rendezvous which has two canoeists approaching a campsite where a fire awaits. Sigh...one month to Canada.

I'm going to Quetico with my 14 year old and a couple other guys. We'll see some other people, but most stay in the Boundary Waters. We'll be up on North Bay of Basswood Lake. My only concern is the weather being cold and windy, but there's nothing I can do about that except prepare for just about anything.
