Summer Almost Here

Fishing continues to be steady to spectacular. I got to fish with a long-time customer this morning. This man and I have fished together for about 16 years nearly as I can tell. We have laughed a lot and on occasion, we have wept as we mourned the loss of a couple of our fishing buddies. He ran the trolling motor today so I got to ride, relax, and tell stories. Another special day on the water; we caught 22 bass in 5 1/2 hrs. No lunkers, but had several nice ones. Water is clear and 82 degrees. The lake remains full and the grass bed is well established. The wacky worm was the best lure this morning, but the jig was effective as well.
