![]() Ok this time Dave showed up. The plan...fish from 10:30 p.m to 3:00 a.m. We decided since my nephew was going out that we would take two boats and I would fish solo. Fine with me I prefer it that way.(funny... I hate people but love gatherings) Anywho, the minute we launch the boats we get hit with a downpour that left all of us just a tad bit wet. Ok it was real wet. I did manage to just about get my rain jacket over my head and tackle. It only rained for about 15 minutes but it came down! The rain had me thinking twice about fishing the buzzbait so I rigged up a Strike King Wild Thang in Junebug with an unpegged 1/32oz bullet weight and a red 4/0 gammy hook. It proved to be a good combo as the first bass of the night, a little guy @ less than a pound tore into it. The rain had stopped and the lake smoothed right out and was flat as could be. I was chucking that buzzbait all over with no response and decided to head to a point where there was some good activity yesterday and where I caught the biggest bass the day before on a buzzbait. I threw the buzz about 4-5 times across the point, again it was met with no response. So I picked up my spinning rod with the wild thang. 1st cast and I am working it past some submerged timber, as I lift the rod up it bends down fast. I set the hook and the fish just rocketed out of the water, good fish, I go for the net(cause I brought one this time) and can't get it off one of the seat screws it was hanging up on, meanwhile the fish is pulling drag down under the boat, I crank him up and shine the light, see thet the fish is hooked good and bring em in to the boat. A nice 3-3 1/2 pound LM. A picture, and the fish is on it's way. I worked that whole area with the buzzbait and wild thang and didn't get another bite, right before I head out to the main lake, I cast my buzzbait but never head it hit the water. My rod jerked and I thought I might have been hung up in a tree and had the motor on, nope I hit a bat and hooked it with the tailer hook. As it came down towards the boat it hit the water real hard. I shined the light and decided I want nothing to do with it, I cut the line and that was the last I saw of the bat or my buzzbait. Re tie another buzzbait. Troll Daves hair jig back out to the sticks and I catch a crappie about ten inchs. They love his hair even at night!! I meet up with Dave and my nephew and they are still without a fish. So I decide to fish the sticks for a bit then decide that the fish are not out there in open water so I head for the shoreline with Dave and Steven behind me. I cast across the point on a small island on the lake and a good size explosion and big tug tell me something has just crushed my buzzbait. That something was another 2lb+ LM. Another picture and release the fish. We both fished and area known to us as the flats and repeatedly Dave and Steven had their buzzbaits hung up in the brush. I was fortunate. I stuck with trees only. They head over to some standing timber and docks and I head to the back of the lake to the nasty stuff. That area is nothing but sticks as thick as it comes and it all sits in about 5 feet of water if that. A place where Harry has caught some fish with me including a nice 3 pounder his first trip up here, also a place where twice I missed a good fish the day before due to not having a trailer hook on. I fan cast the buzz about a dozen times with again..no response. I kept throwing about 10 more casts where I had heard a splash. Ready to leave and the water erupts again. 65 pound braid stood up to the sticks and I get my 4 th fish of the night, another fish in the 3-31/2 pound range. You know the story...another picture and the fish is back to swimming. We had been out for about three hours at this point and my partners were a little down. We head over to the back cove, On my way over I get anothr little guy on the wild thang. less than a pound, no picture. We get into the back cove, I figure this is gonna be real productive and out best shot at a real big fish. Unfortunately my first cast resulted in a backlash so nasty that the boys at Shimano were laughing. The reel was jacked for the rest of the night. I tied the buzz onto a pole and head to the left to the bigger part and Dave went to the right to the flooded stick area. I fished a while with no luck and head back to the main lake. As I was heading out I saw Dave's flashlight up in the trees shining around. I kinda chuckled and head back out the canal. I fished a while and got my 6th fish of the night, A decent fish in the 2+ range. I see the other guys heading over to the ramp. it's about 3 a.m and we all agree to call it a night. Dave wound up catching two fish but that's his story. My nephew wound up catching cold and thats his only story. 'm really liking this night fishing thing. That topwater bite just gets the blood pumping and when it's dark not knowing what you have on adds to the excitement. I hope everyone is having half the fun I am fishing this year. I apologize to those of you that hate long posts, but scroll down see how long it is and move on :-) |

Nice fish!
You ever think that it isn't my boat that brings you luck... but rather it's your skills that put them fish in the boat? Remember that at the NWC and bring home the top honors this time!

A place where Harry has caught some fish with me including a nice 3 pounder his first trip up here, also a place where twice I missed a good fish the day before due to not having a trailer hook on. I fan cast the buzz about a dozen times with again..no response. I kept throwing about 10 more casts where I had heard a splash. Ready to leave and the water erupts again. 65 pound braid stood up to the sticks and I get my 4 th fish of the night, another fish in the 3-31/2 pound range. You know the story...another picture and the fish is back to swimming. We had been out for about three hours at this point and my partners were a little down. We head over to the back cove, On my way over I get anothr little guy on the wild thang. less than a pound, no picture. We get into the back cove, I figure this is gonna be real productive and out best shot at a real big fish. Unfortunately my first cast resulted in a backlash so nasty that the boys at Shimano were laughing. The reel was jacked for the rest of the night. I tied the buzz onto a pole and head to the left to the bigger part and Dave went to the right to the flooded stick area. I fished a while with no luck and head back to the main lake. As I was heading out I saw Dave's flashlight up in the trees shining around. I kinda chuckled and head back out the canal. I fished a while and got my 6th fish of the night, A decent fish in the 2+ range. I see the other guys heading over to the ramp. it's about 3 a.m and we all agree to call it a night. Dave wound up catching two fish but that's his story. My nephew wound up catching cold and thats his only story. 'm really liking this night fishing thing. That topwater bite just gets the blood pumping and when it's dark not knowing what you have on adds to the excitement. I hope everyone is having half the fun I am fishing this year. I apologize to those of you that hate long posts, but scroll down see how long it is and move on :-) |

who has to fish in their underwear again? Oh that's right you do, and you
still owe me 15 cents from the other days fish bet. Your game is weak, see ya at 3 "dvito" wrote in message ... Blah Blah Blah, Your a homo. Dave V "alwaysfishking" wrote in message ... Ok this time Dave showed up. The plan...fish from 10:30 p.m to 3:00 a.m. We decided since my nephew was going out that we would take two boats and I would fish solo. Fine with me I prefer it that way.(funny... I hate people but love gatherings) Anywho, the minute we launch the boats we get hit with a downpour that left all of us just a tad bit wet. Ok it was real wet. I did manage to just about get my rain jacket over my head and tackle. It only rained for about 15 minutes but it came down! The rain had me thinking twice about fishing the buzzbait so I rigged up a Strike King Wild Thang in Junebug with an unpegged 1/32oz bullet weight and a red 4/0 gammy hook. It proved to be a good combo as the first bass of the night, a little guy @ less than a pound tore into it. The rain had stopped and the lake smoothed right out and was flat as could be. I was chucking that buzzbait all over with no response and decided to head to a point where there was some good activity yesterday and where I caught the biggest bass the day before on a buzzbait. I threw the buzz about 4-5 times across the point, again it was met with no response. So I picked up my spinning rod with the wild thang. 1st cast and I am working it past some submerged timber, as I lift the rod up it bends down fast. I set the hook and the fish just rocketed out of the water, good fish, I go for the net(cause I brought one this time) and can't get it off one of the seat screws it was hanging up on, meanwhile the fish is pulling drag down under the boat, I crank him up and shine the light, see thet the fish is hooked good and bring em in to the boat. A nice 3-3 1/2 pound LM. A picture, and the fish is on it's way. I worked that whole area with the buzzbait and wild thang and didn't get another bite, right before I head out to the main lake, I cast my buzzbait but never head it hit the water. My rod jerked and I thought I might have been hung up in a tree and had the motor on, nope I hit a bat and hooked it with the tailer hook. As it came down towards the boat it hit the water real hard. I shined the light and decided I want nothing to do with it, I cut the line and that was the last I saw of the bat or my buzzbait. Re tie another buzzbait. Troll Daves hair jig back out to the sticks and I catch a crappie about ten inchs. They love his hair even at night!! I meet up with Dave and my nephew and they are still without a fish. So I decide to fish the sticks for a bit then decide that the fish are not out there in open water so I head for the shoreline with Dave and Steven behind me. I cast across the point on a small island on the lake and a good size explosion and big tug tell me something has just crushed my buzzbait. That something was another 2lb+ LM. Another picture and release the fish. We both fished and area known to us as the flats and repeatedly Dave and Steven had their buzzbaits hung up in the brush. I was fortunate.
