This is an addendum to my “Nemesis Lake” report from last Saturday. More actually happened in that fishing stint. In the words of the honorable Paul Harvey, it’s time for “the rest of the story. 
 

 

Saturday 5/5 Lake Dolloff

I got to my nemesis lake, Lake Dolloff at 20:10. Fishing with a brush hog, I land my first bass out of this lake and my first bass on a brush hog. iPhone photo says picture taken at 20:20. I continue fishing until 21:00 and nothing else was caught. 
 

 

And now, the “rest of the story” 

 

I leave Dolloff at 21:05 and already had in mind to go to another lake called Steel Lake on the other side of the freeway. History has taught me the evening window is from 20:30 to sunset if the stingy bass in Steel decide to cooperate with you. 
 

I park by 21:15. Despite my gut saying to switch to a spinnerbait, my pride and excitement in catching my first brush hog bass gets the better of me and I fish the same set up as Dolloff. 
 

15 minutes pass by. The sun is pretty much gone and I finally switch to my gut called first choice, the spinnerbait. Wouldn’t you know it, bam! 

The bass fought well but to no avail. Victory was mine. iPhone show pictures were take at 21:42. 

 

Two lakes, two bass, in just under two hours time. So unusual, so not typical for me, as a shorebound angler. I am not one “two” complain, and I’ll take this “two” the bank, lol.

Good story. Cool.

Starting to put the pieces together is always a good feeling.

I hit the nemesis lake recently. Skunked.
