playin' catch up

Alright let's play some catch up... 2 weeks ago I made a trip to Tippy. Tippy is quickly becoming my second favorite lake to fish. The chance of rain was a mere 0%, this is what I got.
 Before the superstorm hit the fishing was awesome, with the largemouth and white bass were chasing and crashing the shad on the surface. I actually started the video recording so I could catch some of the action and got the storm instead. I caught and released alot of fish and kept 4 for supper.


Then on the way back to the landing I caught a couple bass froggin'.
 Last week I made another voyage up to Lake Michigan and put in at Michigan City. It was the first time in 3 years that I put in up there. I started at dawn and wanted to motor out to 90 fow but only made it to 83 fow before I dropped lines and started trolling. The waves and wind was from the South, so the further out I went the worse it got. I trolled all the way back in (5 mi) and around the mouth of Trail Creek without even a bump. Another 0, that made it 3 zero's for the year and very well might be the last time I go up this year. Remember kids dove and early goose opens on Sept.1.

This week I went to Tippy again and got into the largemouth, many fish caught but nothing big so no pics. I hopped over to Chapman around 2 or so and fished there til 7. By then I was pretty tired so I packed up and headed for home. All in all had a pretty good day.

I gotta work next Thurs. so I probably won't be going out unless the silver fish start showing up on Lake Michigan. I know I said it might be the last time this year, but I just can't help myself.
