Made it out around noon time today, after the boys' bowling leagues were done.  A little too cold for me, sun came out later than expected.  Wind 5 ish out of the SE.  Never checked the water temps.

Went back to old school, and hit a bunch of shore spots.  Broke off a nice rainbow casting from a pier along the lake.  Thought it was a brown the way it bulldogged, but got close, looked about 26-28" 'bow.  Got her in too green, and a flick of the tail - bye bye 4# leader.

Went back to couple of bass spots, and hit a bunch more dinks on XR-10, Mr. Pink, and Mr. Construction Cone. Nothing on shallow cranks, or traps.   Decided to change it up, and hit a spawning flat with a big Flash Minnow, worked really slow.  Really just shaking slack line, and sweeping it in slowly.  3rd cast, and finally, a decent 3 lb.  (OK, 2-15, but who's counting, LOL) fish.

I did throw one weird thing, just to see what would happen...a Sammy 100.  Caught a dink, LOL.  That fish didn't read posts on fishing forums!  Tomorrow, I'm throwing a frog.

Visited the 'rents for a while, and headed home.

Fun. I remember the 'bows in the morning thing.

Red teeth on that one too.

Is that the picnic table boat that goes with your lawn chair boat? ;D

Yeah, but I had to use tractor trailer inner tubes to get it to float!

Boats have ruined me.  I can't stand to fish from the bank anymore.

great more red mouths!!  i spent all day checking out the fish i caught to see if they had red mouths!!    one did, but not in the teeth area, more around the inside.

Me too, but I do like to hit the ponds.  To me its not really shore fishing, since I can pretty much hit anywhere from shore.  Anything bigger, and I drop the yak in, LOL.  This pond has produced many over 5 and two over 6 for me.  I actually wished I had the yak for the pier trout fishing.  I wouldn't have lost that fish.

Mr pink and mr construction cone?!?!  ;D

Stupidly bright jerkbaits, LOL.
