Up early for an old Geezer of 88. Out of bed at 04:00 and fishing by 05:15. Windy and very Misty as I launched my small boat. My Co-Author, Dave Shorett showed up about an hour and a half later with his Pontoon Boat. We both caught a few small largemouth bass and a few Bluegill. All of my fish were hooked on a size 11 floating Rapala. Dave is a fly fisherman and his fish were hooked on flys - have no idea what their names were. We were the only boats on the lake but as we were quitting some ladies showed with canoes - didn't see any fishing gear.

I don't really like the idea of giving the trip only a 2 rating. Just because catching was tough doesn't mean it wasn't a good trip.

Oh Yes, Dave took "big fish" honors with a largemouth basss just over 12 inches.
