Summary:
Big bait started out tough but I am here to tell you that they can be found. Fishing...well its great if you are in the right place at the right time.
SAD NOTE:
The first morning fishing rotation ended with a lost fish that might be swimming around as we speak being filmed with my water wolf camera. That one hurt! All those memories we shared with that thing...gone!! Don't think I didn't try to find it. I'm still hopeful she will pop up some day. Maybe someone will find it 100 years from now.
Fish Notes:
I had more rolls and pops than usual with no follow up. To catch those fish, I found that turning back was key. Small bait was not effective. I only caught one big fish and the rest were between 8 - 12 pounds. I did catch a nice 5 lb largemouth and a bonus musky right at dark before going home on Saturday. On one occasion, I was unhooking a fish and two boards went off. It was a very nice thrill but way too much stress for me.

Bait Notes:
Big bait is tough for me right now. They seem to be scattered in the mud. I was not able to find them on sonar or flipping. The lake seems to be a giant dollar bill fest. However, I was able to finally get into a rhythm and learned that if I want to wake up in the morning with this wonderful sight.....
I must make sure that I am making the MONGO FACE!
And to try out some different techniques...
And to not get discouraged at the little things....
But relish each and every decent looking throw....
Because every now and then...a good throw results in this....
And finally...I realize that if every throw resulted in mongos all the time...I would find something else to do!
It's that net full of mongos every 1000 throws or so that keeps me coming back!
