3.65lbs/18" Craw Tube (Brown/GP)

6:20-9:15AM Green Cabin & NW Bays
Conditions: 54-62℉. Partly Cloudy, ESE Wind

I arrived in Green Cabin Bay about 5 minutes before the sunrise.  It was windier then expected.  I didn't get a hit on the flat with the Plopper and nothing in the pads and reeds on the Sprinker.  Finally when I was into the rice this 17 incher crush my Bobby's Perfect Frog.

I then missed my next 2 or 3 hits, before I caught a 15" in the same spot I had hooked and lost a fish earlier.  I think I missed a couple more hits.  Then had a couple of small pike mess with me in the pads and open water.  As it was coming up on 8AM I moved to the NW Bay.  There I got two bass (16.6,14.5) on the white/pink Spro Sprinker knock off as I came into the convergence of rice, reeds, and pads. Then there was pretty much nothing until I got to the small bulrush area.  There I had both Sprinker tails get bit off in short order and caught this 27" pike, which I forgot to weigh.

I missed a few hits when I got to the juice.  I would have liked to fish longer, but Dad needed the car back by 10.

15" Craw Tube (Brown/GP)

7:45-8:45PM West Point
Conditions: 65℉, Partly Cloudy, E Wind
Water Temp: 71℉

I think Dad finally got home a little after 6PM and I wasn't ready to leave.  Totally my fault because I had an hour's advance notice when he would be home.  I decided to hit West Point first.  I had a fish hit, but not get the Rat ta tat Plopper at the juice dock on my first pass.  I got the 15 incher under the pontoon of the juice dock as I worked my way back into the wind.  I missed a couple of hits over by the tree dock.  I then got a 11 inch dink in the same spot the 15" came from.  I got the 18 incher from the picture at the top of the blog right smack dab in the juice just to the east of the pontoon.  I missed a couple more bites.  Didn't get anything off of the next dock to the East.  It was starting to get dark so I ran to the pad point area where I had one hit at the SSKO, but not get it.  The skeeters weren't bad at all with the bit of wind and the cool weather we have been having.
