after posting about preferred times I went out at 3:30 this morning.
Couldn't quite get up at 2:30 but when the alarm went off the second time I
went outside and there wasn't as much as a slight wind blowing. Top water
time. Both Dave and Tom failed to show up as promised so off I went. I
rigged up a SK bleeding bait buzzbait, A black and white zara spook, a
secret weapon "midnight snack" and a wacky rigged wacko. The lake was like
glass when I arrived. I launched and started working the open water around
the launch as it was productive the day before with the buzzbait, but that
was yestrday and today was today, Not a bite, switched to the spook,
spinnerbait and worm still nothing. Made my way past the first point casting
the buzzbait and trolling on low. My first fish of the morning turns out to
be a nice LM between two and a half and three pounds.


Well I was sold, buzzbait it is. I continued fishing the buzzbait for the
next 2 hours landing 4 more fish, the biggest was probably right under 4 lbs
and the others in the 2-3 lb range. I had about 8 or 9 more fish explode on
the buzzbait and either spit it or miss it all together. Tomorrow is trailer
hook time. The one that was about 4 lbs missed the buzzbait the first two
times. I waited a few minutes cast back in and it nailed it right at the
boat. Talk about your heart stopper!!

After that I had a few swirls and explosions on the buzzbait. I fished the
spinnerbait for a while and caught a toothy critter but no more bass. I was
packed up and off the lake by 6:30


Things I learned:
If it's calm, I'm always going out early
If it's early, always bring a net and a flashlight. Bring a hat if your
bald. Bugs bite and images look better. ()posted to a.b.p.f)
