Weekend Fun

After not getting out in 10-days and getting by the 1-yr mark of my Dad's passing I was looking forward to fun camping and fishing with friends and family. Friday I got on the water after loading up the cabin around noon. Weather be damned I came to fish. It was wet and the canoe needed bailing many times. Things started slow but after a tip from buddy saying his girl was getting some bites on a jointed minnow I made the switch from blades and a swim-bait to the j9.

Well Friday finished with 9 bass 8 pics and a sunnie. Most of the damage came on the j9 (used the golden color I like it in the fall) but I did manage my two biggest on a hollow body swim-bait they were 2lbs and 3lbs. This lure was great in cover and had a cool action to it. I was off the water at 6pm.

Saturday no more rain but plenty of wind. On the water at 11ish and all I managed was a pic. My brother managed 3 nice bass though, 2 on blades 1 on a crank-bait. Hit the cabin for lunch and got back at it until dusk. Again buddy had a tip on jerk-baits that was working for he and my brother but I could not get it going. As the win died or lessened is the better word I got 1 on a blade and them 3 nice bass on soft plastics the biggest going 2.5lbs.

All and all another fun trip thanks to my buddy his girl and my Brother for all the laughs,food,fish and friendship
