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)

O.K., ya convinced me....I'm taking off work tomorrow and going fishing,
not at 3:30 though ! Of course it only takes me 5 minutes to get to
the lake, so 5:30 will do for me!
Nice fish!!!!!
