Water Temps: mid 70's
Air Temps: low 80's
Winds: Breezy
Barometer: high
The balance of last week was a bit slow. Kevin Conley from Dover Ohio arrived
on the 3rd and spent the day with Scott on the south end of the Farm. Numbers
wise they did pretty good, but the size avoided them except for the one below.
She came out of the deep grass and responded to a Senko that fell into her
hole.
I had out Jeff and Jack Jacobs for their final day and then did well enough
that if I had the next day open they wanted it. The big fish eluded them but we
did some get some nice fish to 5 pounds and plenty to keep them interested.
However I was booked on the 4th with Steve Pierce from Gainsville, Va. and we
left the ramp with great anticipation and expectations. The wind held a surprise
in store for us however and really made us work for the bass we got. Again the
bite was good on the Farm, but size just never made it to the boat. Plenty of
fish bit throughout the day but not the one we were looking for.
Scott had Kevin out for his second day and and the bite was tough for them. A
twin to yesterday's fish did bite but unfortunately the wrong Senko got taken
again today.
On the 7th Ron and Shannon Moore of Memphis, Tn. came out. This was Ron's 3rd
trip seeking the lunker. The weather was fantastic but the fishing was slow.
However Ron did manage and nice fish on the Chug Bug that made the day.
Ron missed a much bigger gal, or more correctly lost her to the heavy
hydrilla that we were working around. There is not much you can do when a big
one pulls you into the heavy slop and the extra hooks pick up 30-40 pounds of
weed.
See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
