i honestly can't remember the last time i was out at the mid...i used to come here and fish a lot with my dad when i was younger, so it felt good to visit it once again :Smile:
Went out with my parents on their bass boat today, something i haven't done in a while which i should do waaaaay more often. it was quite breezy driving down the 138 and was worrying about the lake conditions, turned out i was right...it was windy ALL DAY, lol. Got the boat in the water around 630am, lines wet at 645. the target today were lmb and smb so i started out with a spinnerbait with no love...switched over to a 1/2 oz rat-l-trap and about the 3rd cast in i hookup....and to my surprise it was not a bass, but a starving rainbow trout....thats a first for me on a rat-l-trap, lol. the sun was starting to get high so my dad and i switched over to the soft plastics and started catching em'. it was kinda hit or miss for us...we lost more fish than we caught, including a nice smallie...but we ended up boating 5 healthy chunks between the two of us...so not a total loss, we had fun. called it a day around 2:30pm. all bass were released...with the exception of my trout dinner tonight...nomnomnom...
i was really surprised by the hungry, anorexic, trout....i had an even larger one follow my roboworm up to the boat. i actually had my trout rod with a mini jig already rigged up to it and tossed that out after him...he turned and instantly grabbed it...but got off...looks like it's dinner for one tonight, will have to call the girlfriend and tell her to eat a sandwich or something, lol
was quiet in the marina, but the wind picked up the minute we left it...
