my son shawn and i headed for winni for the spawn last saturday, we launched out of silver sands, was a semi cloudy day, light rain in the morning, but the sun won over the clouds as the day went on, we targeted some beds, we are not much of bed fisherman, so we just random casted along the shorlines as we went. we started off with top water, then threw the spinnerbait netting a couple on those lures, as the sun came out we switched over to the white grub 3", and shawn just killed them, he caught 21 to my 17, all nice chunks, had a ball, and shawn managed a rock bass on a senko, been fishing winni for 30 years and never caught a rock bass!! lucky bas*a*rd, lol.

a buddy and I pre-cleaned some choice fishing spots at mill pond today in an attempt to destroy the completion in the morning, it was a tuff day removing all those weeds, but we got it done. we also relocated all the weeds to a pond with much cleaner water, I think the pond was called weedhall something??? so tired, hope I can get up in the morning for the tournament.........

fished with my father on saturday, i have not fished with him in a couple of years, he is 78 , it was his best day ever on the water, i just kept a fresh senko on and removed the fish for him, we fished for just 4 hours and he managed 48 bass and 7 pickerel, not all were keepers but he enjoyed everyone of them. the fishing was so hot that i even managed 13 bass also, the smile on his face was priceless, he got a little sore sitting in the small boat, thats why it was only 4 hours, but that was enough for him, a great day he will not forget soon......

skipped work for a day on the charles, took a newbie this time, most fish he ever caught , he still beat me, 31 - 13.
it was the best watching someone new to this extreme game catch some of the biggest fish of his life, we spent 7 hours out there today, sunburn was worth it, my buddy matt drove an hour and a half from conn. to get to my house, i was worried that the fish would not be biting, but a usual the charles very rarly dissapoints.. it was funny that he said he never thought he would have to use his boga grip on a freshwater bass, all of the big fish came after the shallow to the drop off end. and the river is very low , so watch out . and bring a push pole...... i caught a couple of nice fish but matt has them on his camera , so i will post the photos that i took of him.

went for 3 hours this morning, lots of bites, first time in a yak, sorry yak users, (never again) sore arse, cramps, paddle in water (several times), can't stand up to pee, pole in water (several times), had to paddle, need some cheese with my whine!
