It's ok Larry, I forgive you.  Yesterday I forgot to put my camera in the boat, had to use the back up disposable (will have to get it developed, been in the boat long time) for pics of the 3 pounders I caught.  Today I ordered a lilly pod and also read my digital camera manual and tought me self how to use the timer.

Here is what is posted to the newsletter.

Hey Western!!! Whatta Ya Know!!! we had a sunny day!!! The Fish-in on American Lake was beautiful but the fish were very skiddish as several anglers reported followers to the boat but no fish committing!  water was reported as high as 51 degrees in the latter parts of the day but by lunchtime at 2PM none of the 13 anglers in 7 boats got any Bass....Dan Mowery reported tieing into a Monster Trout though estimated at 8 lbs!!!
Three boats remained for the afternoon shift and at this report two fish were boated!!! Rodney H. got a nice Smally Crankin a deep diver Brown red Craw pattern weight 1.90 lbs and I (Larry S.) got a 3.06 lb Smally on a Norman Deep Little N in the same Craw/Red Pattern!! Pictures and Video to follow...Yes Video was running when I got mine so be merciful on the Lame Roland Martin Gig!!!

Im so sorry Rodney...thats why I asked you to check your camera before releasing the fish!!! these cameras are getting too technical with their focusing cr*p!

Damn, still no bass caught over 1.5lbs for me...oh well, I'll keep chugging along!  Robert was a very good teacher, I learn more and more everytime I fish with someone new...great fishing club! 

Walked around Green Lake yesterday with the wife and baby,  looked like there may have been some spots the fish had cleared off to spawn....or it could have just been the way it has always been...I'm no expert.  I know there is bass in there, just don't know whether it's smallies, largies, or what?  There are TONS of spots where the trees hang over the water and lots of little laydowns/tulies/pads so I imagine it can be fun if you know what you are doing in late spring.  Lot of people sitting on the docks with their poles in the water, I'm guessing they are going for trout?  Anyway, I'll be fly fishing in Montana for only my second attempt ever next week so I won't see y'all at the meeting, but I'll be back!!

Hrm, well I guess I didn't miss a bass-fest at least, although I bet Larry will be slaying them this week on Kentucky.  We got back home this morning and I'm looking forward to getting out this weekend for sure.

Pics to follow, have to get the camera out of the boat. After shore lunch I caught a 2 pounder on a crank bait and Larry also caught one close to 3 if my memory is correct.  Felt good to sleep in this morn but now I got to get back on the water.

Sorry, no pic.  At least not on my camera.  I need a new camera man.

Larry forgot to invite the fish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Nightbasser

OK, someone tell me all about the smalliefest I missed!

Well by now the boats should be in the water    I think I'll be glad to get home tomorrow

I'll be there looking for a back seat, but I have to get dropped back at the dock by around 1-1:30pm per the wife's instructions.  Not a big deal overall I'm sure, but thought I'd throw it out there.  See y'all at Shari's!

Maybe 2 pm for lunch this time...days are getting longer ya know!!!

I'll be there and my back seat is empty. What time will shore lunch be I have been asked?

If you are looking for a boat just show up...we will pair folks up when we get there.
While we are on the subject...how boat a count of folks coming!!!

Was wondering if I could catch a ride with someone tomorrow? Boat is still in the shop till next week  and with the good weather coming the need to be on the water is strong.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Nightbasser                                                                                                                              

Oh well....im gonna be there either way...after this winter nothings gonna stop me from fishing heck, thats why I am leaving for Kentucky Saturday night...
