Today I sleep in as I wanted to get on the lake at 6am. So i was an hour late. Today was special as my wife went with me. This was the first weekend she has felt good enough to fish. She is recovering from cancer and it has been a year and a half battle that she has won.
I didn't set any speed records on the water as she diidnt let me go any faster than 40 mph. But I was cool with that.
Again we put in at the dam. We were about the third boat however there were a lot of fishermen. Some trolling and others on the points.
Today was about just catching fish and not hunting for the big ones. My wife enjoys more action so I really was going to crappie fish. However I started with my SENKO and we just started pulling in bass. We fished a cove in netween 10 ft of water and the bank. We were on the lake a little over three hours and boater 11 small mouth. Nothing big but decent size. I used my standard set up and my wife used a Senko rigged wacky. Since we were set up with light line we used the net this time.
The water was down just a little from last week and a little more clear. The outside temp was cool in the am and warmed to the high 70's. Boat traffice was light all day but they started to roll in as we departed.
Nothing new in the pattern that has been working. Weighted Senko worked slowly on the bottom. We found some nice grass beds.
All in all what an enjoyable day with my wife, however I'm going to have to teach her how to take grass off of her hook. She caught 6 and I caught 5. Sorry she would let me take a picture of her. But in any event this is what we were catching today.
