Back to my own lake

I should be sueing someone for letting me go to Florida, then making me go
home. I can't even imagine catching anything like I had hooked there or saw
hooked there. Even the dinks were fighting like 2 and 3 pounders.

Went out early this morning for a little time on the lake with Dave V. He
met me at 6 and I had to be off the lake by 7:30 for work, so we opt for the
small lake here. Dave had a score to settle as he has skunked on this lake
like the last 10 trips out going back into late last year. The air temp was
about 45 degrees when we pulled up to the lake but winds were 20-25 mph,
putting a little chill in the air. We should have just head back to my house
for coffee and football but decided we will fish anyway.

I took three rods and Dave did as well, a few bags of worms, some hooks and
a spinner bait. Righ off the first point I had a watermelon/red speed worm
with an un-pegged 1/4 ox weight, bounced it about two or three times from
some submerged lillypads trying to break through and landed a nice 3 pounder
loaded with eggs, Dave switched to a green trick worm with a weight also, we
circled the lake and head back to where I caught my fish, we almost ran a
fish over from the wind pushing us towrds the grass, we backed off and Dave
threw his trick worm into the area where the swirl was, bang,,,fish on, The
skunking had ended, We fished a bit more and did get a few bites but no more
fish. So an hour and a half and two decent fish( By Northern Standards), but
good to be back out on the puddle pusher none the less. See how Saturday
fairs.

What? No shaved heads, or fish down anyones pants? LOL

I'm headed back to my home lake tonight after work...

I'm sure gonna miss Okeechobee.... LOL

This time it was just about catching 1 more fish than Dave. Wait that's what
it is always about.

Moe wanted the same shave your head bet with me on Day two at Okee. I
actually considered it for a second, then came to my senses. I would have
looked real silly with no hair. And as Moe mentioned later in the day while
telling a tale of the lake. " Never bet a guide...and never bet a guide on
his own lake. I think Moe has actually named some of those fish : ) Tomorrow
is real work, and Saturday is fishing. Well maybe tomorrow night is fishing
if Harry can get up here early enough to launch the bathtub
