Day 1, just let me get my words down, it was extremely windy, hampering my
planned fishing, first i shore fished around a bridge with traditional rapala
and jointed rapala, one bass surfaced but missed the lure, i then took the
canoe out into the wind, lord help me, quite a feat with an acquired stiff neck
to boot ( no pun), caught one small bass and one real nice lunker using my hank
parker rod, the lunker was jumping out of the water like it was going straight
thru the pearly gates, but i released it, it was caught on a plastic worm,
waves were rollers and not white caps and i was fearful i would lose my gear on
a tipover, i was wearing a pfd (always) due to the chance of injesting a lot of
(cold) water on a tipover, summary one nice bass caught but i had to really
work for it, BTw this lake is not known for bass fishing, day 2 report to
follow

Stay tuned for more! This time actually using periods instead of commas, and
making complete sentences!

Day 2
waited all day, very disappointing to say the least, this lake is not known for
smallmouth bass fishing, only tied into a small smallmouth and some fair size
rock bass, primarily using a jointed rapala, rock bass have a prickly dorsal
fin, not a sought after species at all, quite possible to get a regional or
world record with doubtful cash value, next day returning to the spot where i
tied into the lunker. day 3 report to follow.

Day 3
fish at the same spot as day 1 as said at the end of day 2, tied into two small
bass, one rock bass and one lunker, had another heavy strike but lost due to a
snafu with my drag, used back reeling to land the lunker, daiwa reel best
suited for back reeling, the lunker hit the side of the canoe like a mini
version of Jaws, not a real productive trip on day 3, the lake is not known for
bass fishing, caught the lunker on a ribbon tail worm , scenery is great and
the bugs are a biting, i have a pattern now for day 4, day 4 report to follow

day 4
predicted 50km winds and unsettled weather, opted to shore fish using the
pattern established in day 3, shore fishing is better than no fishing, fished
near an low slung bridge, fishing is suppose to be good but difficult to
establish the movement of the fish, got bit alive by bugs, winds calmed so went
out in canoe, tied in and landed one nice bass, no multiple catches of bass for
this lake, day 5 report to follow.
