Missaukee

It was a tough night for us, we ended up with a zero for the first tournament. We caught a few small ones and I lost our only keeper of the night. The new trolling motor I-Point works great and is going to make boat handling a bunch easier this year. Going to have to do real good on Rose next week to get us back in this.

Windy was the word for tonight, getting use to it though. Almost everyone that I talked with after the tournament said it was a tough bite, said they only caught a couple fish, we didn't catch very many. I caught our keeper for the night, a 3.41# Largemouth. I lost the winner, came out of the water and spit my hook back at me. Jo had a nice one on, but it managed to come un hooked. Things are looking up, were not tied for last anymore and have moved up to 15th. Cadillac is next, time for another good one.

Windy and cold tonight typical Wednesday to far, we call it the Wed night curse. Jo caught our keeper tonight, a nice 2.82# Largemouth, she had two good ones make it to the boat. Was a tough bite but the ones that did bite were nice ones, all I could catch was Pike. We managed to move into 12th, and on our way to the top. Looking forward to Chippewa next week, who knows maybe it will be a nice night.

Tonight started out very windy but with about an hour to go it calmed down and was a very nice night. I caught our keeper for the night, it was only a 1.70# Largemouth. We just can't seem to get into any big ones. Jolynn and I both caught plenty of fish but they were on the small side. It was a good night only three out of thirty boats, didn't get a fish tonight.

Well what a surprise it was windy as usual for our Wed night, but this didn't stop us from catching fish. I caught our keeper for the night, a 2.12# Largemouth, again not the monster we wanted. We both catch a lot of fish tonight and a lot of them were keepers, just no big ones. Rose Lake is next, sure hope we can get a big one there.

Beautiful night for fishing not much wind a little warm maybe. The pleasure boaters had their way with us, could have used the boat cop out there tonight, they could have made some money. Jo caught our keeper for the night, a 2.07# Largemouth. I caught a lot of fish but nothing with any size. Rose Lake is not the lake it was a few years ago, people keeping the bass over 20" plus has taken its toll. There are still some nice bass in there, but not near what it was.

Cadillac

Well great weather for fishing, temperature wasn't bad and the wind gave us a break too. Now if we could just find the big bass, which have been avoiding us like the plague. I caught our keeper for the night, but Jo's was so close I believe we could have taken either one up and still only ended up with 1.69#. We're falling back, but not going to throw in the towel yet, six more to go, plenty of time to sneak back to the top.

Chippewa

Windy to start the night off and lake being poisoned three days before the tournament made it a very tough bite. I caught our keeper for the night, a 1.62# Largemouth, which was the only fish we caught all night. Most caught a keeper but not many extras. Still plenty of chances to get us into the Classic but we have quite a challenge to get to the top. With a little positive in our boat, we may get there.

Missaukee

Guess what, windy again, what a shocker, getting use to it though. Tough bite for some but for others it was a big bite, Jon Wolfgang got a 4.30# and ended up in fourth, that doesn't happen often on Missaukee. I caught our keeper for the night a 2.09# Largemouth, just couldn't find the big ones. Maybe because they were already in some ones livewell, four over 4 pounds, amazing. We're running out of time to get into the classic, hoping Rose is good to us next week.
