Wisconsin- Memorial Day Weekend

Just a quick report. Got up to my place on Friday afternoon. First time I took my 1 year old twin boys up to the house. Man that was a lot of work itself.  Anyway by the time I got them to bed and the boat in the water I was pressed with only about an hour to two hours of fishing time.  I expected the lily pads to be grown in a lot more than they were.  I started tossing around a Live Target Frog and the lake was on fire. Had a few short strikes so I slowed up on the retrieve and made my frog sit a bit longer than normal.  I hit the "power hour" as I like to call it at dusk. I nailed 7 largemouth in less than 1 hour. All in the 16-18 range. Nothing to brag about but a lot of fun!

 

 

A pretty big cold front passed through Sat-Monday, with Monday being the worst. Water temps Friday were 73, then dropped into the mid 60's the rest of the weekend. It really shut it down so i reverted back to throwing a fluke and a dropshot. The fluke produced a few more largemouth but all in the 12-14" range. Nothing great. The dropshot only seemed to be appealing to the little guys as it didn't score anything big. Overall, a good weekend of fishing with the limited time I had out on the water.  I was only able to stay out for an hour or 2 at a time with having my boys up there. Can't wait to get them out there one day.  Oh, and the last night my fiance and I were having a cocktail and throwing a frog and swimbait around.......and someone actually enjoyed herself tossing a bait around. Overall.......a great weekend of family and fishing.  

 

Here are some pics of Friday night action. I was in such a hurry I forgot my GoPro in the house and had to revert to my cell phone. DOH!
