Saturday - September 12, 2009 - Day 254

Got a late start and drove up to Crab Lake today. Muskie tournament
going on - 650 boats - about 14 on Crab - had to park a long way from
the ramp.

Started fishing and it was a little slow but Linda got a pretty 3
pound plus smallmouth - she had me 12 to 7 at one point. Decided to
run to one of my favorite bays and hit a rock pile - bent up the prop
and the shaft is bent, too. Memories of two years ago when I hit
rocks in Crab and did $4500 worth of damage - not as bad this time, I
hope.

We idled on into the bay and the fish were there - We ended hte day
with 20 smallmouth each and I got one 14 inch walleye. Linda had two
nice keepers and I had one.. Most of the smallmouth were 13 or so
inches long and fought like crazy.

Back to Crab tomorrow - will put on a new prop and try ot avoid the
rocks..
