Bass, Bass, and More Bass!

Got up at 5:00 am today and went to Presque Isle in search of the elusive crappies. The crappies won today as I got skunked in my pursuit of them. It was extremely windy this morning as a front moved in with an early morning thunderstorm.

I ran to my car and waited out the rain and then went back to fishing. I caught a couple nice blugills and tossed them in the bucket. I moved around a lot searching for the elusive crappies and could find none. One spot I went to, though, I must have been on a large school of largemouth bass. I caught 6 bass in about 45 minutes and one was twenty inches. I lost something much larger as it snapped my 4 pound test. I suspect it was a northern pike as I had my drag set correctly. Whatever it was it was pulling very hard. Going out again tomorrow in search of the crappie. Hopefully, I will find some of these tasty little critters. Come on back for my frequent updates. May your lines be tight and your hooks be happy!

P.S. For you turkey hunters out there. Today I saw a huge tom (8 inch beard??)strutting in front of a couple hens ten feet off of the road on Presque Isle. They are ready for ya'
