Christy "Hoo Daddy'd"  this one out of the pads.

The bite on the black and blue laminate senko was real soft. I had skipped it under a boat lift with a boat on it and after it settled in there long enough to settle to the bottom I moved the rod tip a bit to pull up some slack and I noticed the line stared to tighten up a little bit so I reeled done and set the hook. What a pleasure it was to feel the weight and head shake, first bass on the Veritas rod.

Well it was a tough day on the water again. Only three fish were caught all day. The rain stopped early and there were several sun breaks, despite the nasty rain storm predicted by the weather man. The temperature was 48 degrees before calculating the wind chill. All anglers seemed well dressed though, and some even used hand warmers.  The winds were the major factor today, as they were last month at American lake. Except this month they weren't as bad.  Patrick brought out his wind gauge, and clocked the winds at a steady 16 and gusts up to 27, and there was alot of gustin' goin' on. The Water ranged from  52 to 58 degrees today.  Everyone said they ran thier trolling motors on high all day. There were five boats, eight members, and 2 guests. Robert and his guest Rob Ashley, in boat 1. In boat 2, Hooter, Jeff I, and Jeff's guest Gabe, who got to see a largemouth up close for the first time today; he seemed to have fun and enjoy the event. Then there was Patrick who went solo in his boat. Rodney and Jose teamed up, and  Rodney managed to land his first Largemouth of the year weighing in at a chunky 5.7lbs ! Finally there was Christy and I. We each caught a bass. Mine was a 1.5lber , and hers was a 5.6lb toad . Yep. Backseated again by Christy.

Thanks everyone for coming, and a special thanks to those who brought out guests!
See you all next month at Lake St. Clair in Thurston County!
Maybe June will be the month we can quit using the snow gear!

Yeah, There will be a backseat for your friend Jeff, No one gets left on the shore!

so far It's  Christy, Rodney, Jeff and his friend, and me? Come on people this is Long lake in May. This should be a "pig-fest" with chilli dogs!

I am planning on bringing a guest also.  He is a good friend who is becoming interested in bass fishing but doesn't have any experience.  Will there be a backseat available for him?

Jeff I.
