I took a break from the Pursuit of Giant bass, as I had an opportunity to fish with my hero.

The days of fishing together do not come as often as they have in the past, however getting out on the water with my wife has been and will continue to be both a priority and a blessing. 

   Lynn’s favorite place to fish is a lake that is manual power and artificial baits only.  The two mile two- track down to the water deters all put the purists, so we routinely only have to share this with the locals; the loons, eagles, turtles and some massive deer.   

    As is often the case up here, the morning started out cool but warmed up quickly.   It was our first time here this season and it was nice to be back.  After a few picturesque shore side photos, we hit the water with expectations of getting bit.  We were not disappointed as our watermelon flukes were gobbled up like they were going out of style.  Nothing to really brag about, but hardly more than a few minutes went by without one of us getting our string pulled.  

 As the morning wore on and the wind came up, Small spinner baits came into play which of course attracted the pike bite.  Boy they can really do a number on a bait and is fairly short order.  

  Today was the type of day, that in the past, was taken for granted.  That doesn’t happen anymore.

Warm sun, gentle breezes and Big Smiles, were a plenty.  Quiet moments need not be filled with anything.  I hope we can go again tomorrow.
