I arrived a bit after 5AM. Todd and I were about to blast off when Steve appeared coming down the hill. He wanted to go with us so I picked him up and off we went. We got up on plane much faster than the old motor and got to 19.5mph. First stop was Green Cabin Bay. Todd got a pike pretty quickly on Big Sexy. I worked us in toward the bullrushes and got 16.5" bass on the black/yellow Ish. Steve lost a good one in the reeds/pads. We were just past "the juice" when we started getting some hits. Eventually, I connected with a 13" and then 16.6-inch fish that originally went for Steve's frog. I really worked the frog to get the strike. Both brothers missed a good hit or two before we moved on. I got some smaller bass out of the reeds on Chuck's and Todd missed a good one on the Sprinker.
We were about to move to Todd's hole when Steve missed a good blow up in some reeds/cabbage. I got us out on to the cabbage and we were about to leave again when Todd got a 13-incher on Big Sexy. We decided to work our way to the disconnected reed bed. Steve got his 16-incher there along the outside cabbage. I got a 14-incher in the reeds. And one of the two brothers didn't hook up with a good blow up just outside the reed in some cabbage. We then went to Todd's Hole/Big Bass Point. I immediately got the 17-incher off of a cane point. Steve dropped a good fish and Todd smacked back to back pigs (17",16"). I got a pike of two in shallow. I think both of the brothers lost good ones as we worked our way out along Big Bass Point. I then took us to Double Cane. I caught a dink right by the point. Todd missed something right next to shore behind the rice. I missed something the same as Todd. The Double Cane area was a disappointment.
Steve: 1 Bass 2 Pike (6-8 quality misses)
Todd: 3 Bass 6 Pike (3-6 quality misses)
Me: 10 Bass 4 Pike (4-5 quality misses)

7:00-9:45PM Melon Patch (Bust), Big Rice Point to Cane Across from Access
72-77℉, Partly Cloudy, Calm (Thunderstorms in the afternoon with about an inch of rain)
WT: 80℉
I was so excited to see what would be in the Melon Patch this year. What a friggin' buzz kill. The area had nothing going on. Basically, there was very little activity until I got to Big Rice Point. I caught the big girl just randomly over the flat. I got the next fish along the rice clumps on the point. I got the one that didn't quite make two pounds in the rice over by the bullrushes and I got the last fish on the shore side end of the cane patch. Totally frustrating trip for Steve. I don't think he even had a chance at a good fish. On the way in some yahoo was out pulling a tube without any lights and we watched the fireworks on our way in. Kim and Dev were watching the fireworks when we got in.
