| 17.5" Chigger Craw |
7:40-8:30PM Rock Lake got nothing again.
8:40-9:30PM Bulldog
9:45-11:30PM GOMH
Conditions- Cool low 50's falling into mid 40's, light to no wind out of the NW, mostly sunny
I got out a little earlier tonight, therefore I left Rock earlier. I started out throwing the new Slush Daddy prop bait. As Grumpy Old Man Willard was pulling up a good fish swirled on it, but didn't get it. I kept throwing the Slush Daddy for 5 more minutes as Willard and I talked. I then switched to the breen Chigger Craw and threw it right to where the fish showed itself and the 17.5" inhaled it. I caught 3 more bass (12", 15.75", 15") on the Chigger Craw before a Pike bit me off. It was getting dark so Willard left. I got a 14.75" on the black/blue craw tube. I then went back to throwing the Slush Daddy and this fish crushed it.

After trying for about 10 more minutes I headed to the GOMH. I was surprised there were two cars there as Willard said nobody had been there tonight. Turns out it was the Meat Guy and his lady. I went down on the NE side and started casting for golden's which I got.

I went up and put it in the car, then went over to discover who the fishermen were. They had been getting some smaller silvers. A car pulled up, so I quickly went and grabbed my tackle bag and went back to the NE side. Turns out it was Lantern Man just checking to see if anything was going. I had another bite, but it got off. I think it was a jumper because about 10 seconds after it got off a fish jumped out of the water in the same general area. I put on a crankbait and pretty much immediately cast it into the bridge giving myself a minor backlash. I didn't learn my lesson and on the very next cast gave myself a major backlash. I spent 20 minutes trying to get it out, before deciding to bring it home. I tied a Speed Clip onto my St. Croix Legend Xtreme, which is the rod I was using for the Chigger Craw that got bit off. I tried for like 20 minutes and gave up. Meat Guy wasn't having any luck either.
It took me about half an hour at home to get the backlash out.
