My second 5 day stretch at the lake

Two weeks in a row I got to spend extended stretches of time at the lake and it was awesome.  It storms and rain quite a bit is one of the things I noticed.

I got a lot of the piddly things done during the rains and when they stopped we were right back out there.  After the worst of the weather it takes a half a day for the fish to recover and they start biting again. When the storms are close together the fish might take an entire day off, then get back after it.  Doug and Jerri from Iowa were boat mates the day we took a trip north to Garden Island and Little Oak to check it all out.  It is fun to make the run once in a while but, but for the most part our fish come AFTER we get back to the usual spots.

A week ago I called the fishing solid and good, this week was tougher but I figure it was the weather that kept moving things back. We did get some nice one but reached pretty far into the bag of tricks before I had to pack up and come home yesterday.

This fish are fat and healthy and a 14 inch Sauger hits like a slot fish.  Here is Doug with beauty

Curt,

up there at the same time, fishing was tough. Our biggest problem Friday and Saturday was trying to get around a big rig that choose to park right in front of a cabin that we rented at a fine resort that has plenty of other parking available. Put a lot of miles on but caught fish
