Picked up the kids from school and suprised them with a quick fishing trip to Eloika. Got on the water a little after three and the wind was howling!! 15-20MPH and the boat was getting tossed around. There was only about 4 other boats in the parking lot so at least we were not fighting other boats. I took the boat into the NE corner that is a little more protected from the wind. We caught some nice male bass on spinner baits, chatter baits, tubes, and jigs. We got a total of 9 LMB in the 3 hours we fished with the largest being 17 inches and about 3lbs. Each kid got to reel one in and put one back in the water. My son caught the one on his own and his first on a tube!!

We did the best we could with the wind, the water temps were all the way up to 66-67 by the time we left. My guess is that most of the males we caught were searching for beds.

Tight Lines!
