Hey, boaters (yeah, all five of you)! I just read that Amos Lake has an eight mile per hour restriction until June 15.

I had a blast. Fished with a bunch of great guys and gals. My boater was awesome! Learned some new stuff. I had no keepers today. Landed 4 shorts. Time for a nap. Bass fishing is a tuff sport.......

| What a tough day, we thought the fishing would be great,, it wasnt, anyway Nick P, and Metalfish won with 10.6lbs, lunker was 4.2.2lbs which was caught by Mike L and DickVanPike,Peco and I had 4.2lbs as my lunker, that was close,, water was around 60 degrees, Get this, some fish were on beds,,We only had 5 boats so once we saw Nick and Metalfishes bag, we didnt have that so we didnt weigh the fish, besides lunker,,Fish were caught on suspending jerkbaits, carolina rigs, and jigs..Winning bag was caught in the shallows,, |

It's definitely picking up but damn I can't wait until it's topwater time. Had a lot of cautious chaser bass early on but there was far less interest in my jigs than expected. Caught a trout & slimedart on the rattletrap.

It was cold, overcast and breezy from when we got on the water at 7:00 am until it was almost time to get off the water at 3:00 pm. Most of the fish were caught either very early in the morning or just after noon. flippy (aka Jim aka Bananasshole) lost a four-plus pounder in a laydown at 10:00 am. He got it on a jig and went to lift it into the boat before I could grab or net it.  We didn't figure out that the bass were sitting on the bottom in nine to 11 feet of water until 12:00 pm when Jim tied on a Carolina rigged blue creature bait and dragged it slowly on the bottom. He got two keepers in 30 minutes after that. We should have figured it out sooner, because I saw two bass come up from the bottom in about 10 feet of the murky 57 to 59 degree water to check out my lure before turning and swimming right back down. 30 minutes before we had to get off the water, I got a strong hit on a soft plastic Sebile Magic Swimmer about 30 feet from the boat. I did my best professional style hookset and began reeling in what I thought was a solid bass but turned out to be a big pickerel. Sonofab"/@)! 
About the Bananasshole thing: Jim thought it would be funny to show up with a three foot long stuffed banana tied to his boat.  Yeah, that turned out well.
Like metalfish (aka Ian), I was beat at the end of the day. After I finally got home, I slept for 12 hours.

LOL my pickerel had me convinced too - they're probably all big and strong from snacking on the trophy trout. My trout didn't do anything at all until I dropped it in the boat.

Mind you, its got pink guide wraps and pink writing on pole...... |

I wouldn't give you any shit at all. I've got 4 pink Pfleuger casting combos and they're absolutely fantastic. I don't care much for the color pink either but that cosmetic crap makes no difference as long as you're comfortable with your setup. I've been thinking of putting some sort of lime green covering over my guide wraps.

p.s. get your girl to a gym if she has trouble casting that thing because it's "too heavy."
