 |
|
NdWent to visit my aunt and uncle at their cottage on Rogers Lake last Wednesday so that the next morning I could go out nd fish bright and early. The next morning I got up at 4:45 and paddled out. I started throwing buzzbaits but quickly learned it was not top water that they wanted. So I started throwing jigs and assorted worms in about 6 to 7 fow. I began hitting big fish and that was the tend for the rest of the day. I got my biggest in about 7 fow and my second biggest in about 9. The biggest bass was 22 inches and the second biggest was just over 20. Here are sounds pictures that I forgot to resize...my bad.

Nice, Ryan! The bite was definitely better before the water heated up. I'd love to do an evening to morning trip there.

I fished a bit at night off the dock and had a big hit under our swim platform. It seemed almost every swim platform held fish. We should go before I move in on Friday.

Thanks, just wish he wasn't so old. He needed to put on another pound or two, then I'd have a pb. I mean look at the mouth on that thing.

 Youth is wasted on the young, Mark, although not on Ryan. Let me know if you need company on your boat when you head down there.

There are some holes my grandpa showed me plus the places i caught fish I knew I'd catch fish at. That is why I got my kayak towed by the ski boat around the lake to save time.
