Shore Fishing with Pete

4:30-6:00PM GOMH, Culvert, Sullivan Inlet, GOMH, Lake Place
66℉, Mostly Sunny, 15mph Plus
Water Very High

Pete switched out the ground fault interrupter.  Then he got a bug up his ass about cleaning the mower deck which resulted in us taking it off and him confirming to himself that we would need new blades.  It was super windy out of the South so Pete suggested we fish from shore, which was fine with me.  We arrived at the GOMH just before John W. showed up with a couple of buddies.  We didn't get anything and quickly split.   Nothing at the culvert.  Pete got a pike at the Inlet Culvert and had a bass miss his spinnerbait at the tree.  We went to the NE Sullivan Access.  Pete wanted to raise the dock, but we didn't have a wrench and a guy with a pontoon trailer showed up so we left.  We went back to the GOMH and Pete got a small jumper off of the bridge. I called Snatcher Tuma and he was fine with Pete coming along pre-fishing with us tomorrow.  We stopped at the Lake Place so I could pick up some stuff.  We got home around 6:30PM and Pete decided to cook spaghetti instead of going to Little Falls or Brainerd to get mower blades.

Pontoon Trip With Todd & The Girls

I got to the lake place just as Todd was about to start cooking around 6:15PM.  I still had room after eating at the Snatcher's post-tournament picnic to eat a burger.  Belle made me a smore.  Eventually, we (Todd,K,Belle,Mal,Dev,Sophia) got loaded in the pontoon boat and headed for the backside of the big island where the girls like to swim.  While the girls were debating who was going to jump in first I caught a pike.  Devin was first in the water and was quickly joined by Mal and Sophia.  Belle stayed in the boat with us and fished.  At first, we got fooled by acorns falling out of a tree thinking they were fish.  Todd caught a small bass and Belle caught a few weeds.  I had a few fish pull on the ned rig.  Todd took us in getting us in "colder, bit faster" much to Devin's chagrin.
