Two of my fishing buddies, sons Calvin and Stanley, coaxed me out onto to the lake yesterday for a little inland lake fishing. Usually it’s me doing the coaxing to get SOMEBODY to go, so when they suggested we go fishing, truthfully, I needed no coaxing… I was “in” in a heartbeat.
We pushed off at 8 pm and had 3 fish before 9 pm. Calving landed the first one, a 29 inch pike, on his first cast, caught on a orange little cleo. I scored next, about 5 minutes later, with a 11 inch small mouth bass and Stanley got his 15-1/2 inch, 2.5 lb bass 45 minutes later. The next hour was unproductive as we missed a few bites and proceeded in to the dock as it got dark.
I have 2 charters schedule for today, so I will post on them tomorrow or Wednesday as time permits.
