Boom Lake Is BACK!!
Got up at 6:30 AM Wed and managed to get on the road at noon. Made it
find to just south of Nashville - stopped and got gas, checked tires and headed up I-24. About 20 miles later funny noise - rear tire on the Surburban started coming apart. Made it to the next exit on the sholder and changed the tire. Lucky to find a Firestone store open til 8 - got two new tires and headed back out after only a 2.5 hour delay. Made it 20 miles from Tomahawk WI and had to stop for a 20 minute nap. Drove on to Mohawksin Lake and got a liicense and got on the water at 11 AM. Kinda tired but fished til 3 PM - got a 3 pound 3 ounce smallmouth right off, then a 2 pound 11 ounce smallmouth. Ended up with five smallmouth, one largemouth and a pike. Got in my room, took a shower and got in bed at 5 PM. Slep til 8 this morning - 15 hours, guess I was tired. Got on Boom at 9:30 after droping by to see Janet and get my cappuccino. Fished my best spots until 4 this afternoon - got two short largemouth, one short smallmouth and a rock bass. No keepers! Boom is back - Jerry must be coming this year !

Evidently the Hodag Bassmasters did decide to run their tournament on Boom Lake on Labor Day Weekend, a dumb idea if you ask me! Anyway, he's going to attend the Day One weigh-in and have dinner here with Janet and I tonight. So I'll check in later and tell you what the weights were at the end of today. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

They caught fish - I did not. Never landed a fish today of any kind.
With 38 boats fishing a team tournament and a six fish limit, only four teams had a limit. There were ten teams with over ten pounds, only two zeros and one DQ - no idea why. Based on what I saw today, every lily pad and stump in the flowage and river got hit at least twice with a plastic bait of some kind,. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Thanks but two in a row not likely- especally the way I am fishing
Boom! Wish I had your confidence! Pattern does not seem to be working this year at all. Moe and I went to Mohawksin today - got 7 smallmouth and a 15 inch walleye - biggest smallmouth was 3-1 Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Those Smallies can be some real fighters. There was one stretch of the WI River in Merrill I used to catch nothing but 4 pounders. As for the pattern, don't worry it will come. Ya gonna try the Liver this year? Dan |

Come Midnight and I'll be rollin'. I'll stop in Phillips to see a friend for
lunch and then on to BOOM !!!!!! "Ronnie" wrote in message ... the liver was good - hope the fishing gets as good. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Liver worked - Steve took me to a nearby lake and we caught at least
200 fish - probably 75 rock bass, the rest a mixture of smallmouth and largemouth. Most were small - less than 12 inches, but lots of fun on light tackle. We did have several in the two pound range and Steve lost a good one near the boat. Steve started wearing me out - had me about 20 to 2 until I finally broke down and started throwing a whacky rigged Senko. I figure he had me about 70 - 30 before I started hoding my own.

Charles, to be honest, I really didn't notice what he was holding! All I know is that it felt pretty darned good to be ahead of Ronnie in the fish boated department, especially doing it from the back of the boat! Ronnie was the first to arrive, followed closely by Moe. Jerry is here now and Heavy showed up before noon. I'm expecting to see Robbis Storm either today or early tomorrow and I've heard that Shane (part-time OutdoorFrontiersTV cameraman) is going to be fishing the tournament as a non-boater, Jason (another part-time OF staffer) and a friend are coming as well. I'll be talking with Randy later today and I've got to do some running around to pick up some last minute door prizes. While attendance numbers are down somewhat from previous years, it's still shaping up to be a great tournament. The pre-tournament meeting is going to be held Wednesday evening at 7:00 at the Rhinelander Cafe & Pub, so it's still not too late to come up and fish! We've been doing this since 2001 and it's a great time. Oh yeah, Jerry picked up his rental boat and asked about the cost for replacement props....... -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

I always turn my back when holding in public!
Moe and I fished Boom today - two or three short bass but no keepers again. Maybe I should head back to GA! Boom lived up to its name today - a thunderstorm ran us off the lake - sure was glad a bar was close by and we sat it out. Ronnie fishing.about.com http://fishing.about.com |

Ronnie fishing.about.comhttp://fishing.about.com Hi to all from Jamestown, NY Sorry I couldn't make it this year but a family emergency came up at the last minute. I am glad Moe made it. I was worried because the plan was for him to ride with me in the motorhome. See y'all next year. Doc |

Don't catch all the bass on Boom before I get up there. I will be
leaving after work today and should hit Rhinelander around 7:00 or shortly after. Look forward to seeing everyone at the Rhinelander Pub tonight. Gary |

Better day on Boom - and the weather is more like I expected - down in
the 50s last night after thunderstorms and high under 70 today. Another windy day. Got out late and on the lake at about 10 - tried some deep water - Boom has some rocky bars and points that look like they should hold smallmouth but got only one small one. Went shallow at about 11:30 and picked up three nice largemouth by 2 PM - one right at 3 pounds, another just under 3 and one at 2. Would love ot have them tomorrow. Hope this means the largemouth are getting active with the cooler weather. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Very disappointing tournament for me. I fished by my self on Thursday
- Steve suggest Jason fish with me since he was complaining about the boat he borrowed and i told him I would be willing to go anywhere he wanted, but he turned me down. I wore out the wood cover and got one keeper. Late in the day I tried a grassline and got a keeper. Two fish the first day. On Friday Jerry fished with me and we started on grasslines. I managed to get three keeper largemouth and one keeper smallmouth and Jerry got two keeper. Congrats to Gil. I had a great time - really enjoyed fishing with Moe, Steve and Jerry. Great trip - can't wait to do it again. If there is no NWC next year Linda and I are going up for a couple of weeks anyway! Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |
