So I started out fishing docks across from our cabin starting at "The Dock". Actually, I started at the pine tree and got snagged. I was lucky to get my jig back. I then got a little pike off of the dock before "The Dock." I got a 12" off of "The Dock" immediately. I then had a fish hang me on the jet ski lift on my next cast. I let the lure stay snagged and cast underneath with a Hack Jig and had a fish pick it up, but drop it before I set the hook. That was it for "The Dock". I worked my way West and could pretty much call my shot as bass were on the docks tonight. I came to that realization after not planning my casts properly and missing a couple. Not every dock had a fish and I put on a minor clown show, but I was catching fish and not getting too frustrated. It seemed like I would catch a fish and lose a claw off the Craw Fatty. I had a pike steal my jig by the willow tree. Then hung the Buzz Toad Buzzbait on the point dock. I then ran to the point at 3 Loon Flat. I messed around in the reeds not getting a bite. I caught a 12 incher off the first dock. There was a boat coming towards me from just West of F Flat with 3 guys in it. Apparently, there was a league out tonight, but they were the only bite I saw. I caught 3 and missed 3 fish before we passed each other. I don't think I got a fish after I passed them, but I did miss one I think.

Steve called me back and I went to pick him up. His report from Jenny's Reeds in the kayak yesterday had me taking us to the NW Bay. I started out by the big rice patch. Steve had a bite right away and his line broke. We got the Bobby's Perfect frog back, fortunately. It wasn't until we got up by shore that we got another bite. The 17-incher hit my frog then swim toward me while I had the boat moving towards it. Finally, I got caught up and was able to turn the motor off. I then caught a 14.25" and I think Steve missed a fish. I asked him if we should proceed North or South. He chose North. I got 16.25 in the reeds and 17" over by the Pike Bullrushes on the Maxx. I also got a small pike in the PB. Over by "The Juice" I got 16.25" in the rice on Maxx. I had a fish wake up to Maxx very dogfish like on dogfish point. It just nipped at the frog like a doggy as well. I threw back to the spot with a Yum Dinger and I was pleasantly surprised that the dogfish was actually an 18.25" bass.

I threw back to the spot and immediately picked up another 18-inch fish. Steve had a fish miss his frog while I was getting the 18's. I had him throw out a craw tube, but he didn't get any hits on that. I caught a 16.5" on Maxx out of the rice of The Juice. Steve was pretty frustrated at this point as I was up on him 10 fish to none. He had fish knock his frog up in the air, but after repeated casts and nothing he gave up. I threw over and 17.75-incher blew Maxx Up. Sometimes that's the way fishing goes. Steve was skunked for the trip.

My thoughts: I am encouraged to see multiple 3 plus fish in one trip. Maybe the post-spawn funk is over.
