2015 August

Fishing definitely slows down in the summer, especially when the days are so hot and the water is so warm it is like taking a bath.  The fish go deep and they are harder to find but we did manage to find a few bass using the wacky worms.

When we are not fishing we find time for our other favorite activity -- what I call "swimmy chairs".  There is nothing more relaxing than sitting in one of these enjoying a cold beer!

2015 July 30 - Summer Fishing with my Brother and Nephew

We just had a wonderful summer weekend with my brother Ken and his son Steven.  They had not fished in years but caught on very quickly.  It started off slow with the first fish for my brother winning the smallest fish of the day award!

 Things picked up for him right away and here he is with just one of the larger bass he caught. Pretty good for a sunny and hot summer day.

 His son, Steven led the field with the most fish and the biggest fish of the day. Here is his largest bass weighing in at 2 lbs. Great job!
