Went fishing today

Hi all
Well I finally went fishing here in Beaver Dam and caught something.
I fished off shore in several places and caught one keeper about 15
1/2 and it felt like a pound and a half. It hit a firetiger secret
weapon as I was lifting it out of the water. As it broke the surface
the Bass gulped in down. I need to put the battery in the boat and
get out there. Unfortunatly there are no good maps of the lake and
there are quite a few rock piles that are just below the surface. I
have been asking anyone that would listen where the rock piles are and
I think I have figured out some of them. Guess I'll just have to take
it easy as there are no bouys on them :{


I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!

I have the same problem on the river here. There are no good maps of the
sandbars, and when I finally figure them out they move. The only thing I
can do is mark them on my GPS when I am out fun fishing and hope they
haven't moved to far when I am fishing a tournament and moving fast.

The advantage to rocks is that they don't generally move too far. Get
yerself a nice little GPS map. One that will allow you to store and load
waypoints from yer PC. Then start marking all the rocks and such as you
come upon them. Sooner or later you will have your own safe high speed
corridors all figured out.

I got a call today about the possibility of a job back up north so I
wouldn't have to worry about this lake.

Jesus Dan! Go buy a battery! What do they cost, $60 at Wally-World????
You've been frogging around, fishing from shore when you own a perfectly
good boat. Well, ok, it leaks a little bit, but it's still better than
being shore-bound!

Good luck on the job.

NOW GO BUY A BATTERY!!!

I don't need to I have a perfectly good battery sitting next to the
boat in the garage. I may even put it in the boat tomorrow ;}

You should see the size of the dogfish in BD lake. Make carp look
small.

You forget that I have a sister that lives on Beaver Dam Lake. I've fished
it before and it has quite a nice population of bass, walleye and northern
pike. There's also good crappies if you can find them. The carp fishing
would make a European drool and oh yeah, the dogfish rock! Those buggers
will stretch your string!
