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..

OUCH! With two rock hits on Crab Lake, are you sure Jerry Barton wasn't
hiding on board some place? I've been following Linda's posts on Facebook
and it sounds like she's really enjoying herself. I'm glad that you could
show her a little bit of why you went up there each fall.
