[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]I was going to post sooner but I read that post from WH2 about it being a great day for fishing. I was so embarrassed about my poor success compared to his that all I wanted to do is go break my rods in half! Now that I see that it is an old post I don't feel so bad.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]I didn't catch anything ... not even a bite. Water was like glass and the birds were trying awfully hard to find a boil for us. I seen a couple of rises just before sundown but I couldn't get anything to chase my top waters. I did, however, enjoy a nice chat with AFD. AFD showed me a new wiper lure that he ran across. It looks promising. I'll write about it in another post.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]There was, however, one guy on the pond who did have success (so he claims). He and his friend were in a canoe with a small electric troller. He said that they had caught 8 wipers between the two of them (7 and 1). He said they were trolling slow and using an all white soft sassy shad. They were out in front of the feed lot and just a bit north. I seen them 3 nights ago in the same area. They did well then too. I was in that same area trolling a blue and white sassy shad and a white grub with a red led head. I never got a bite.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]As for that big blue thing on the south dike, it has been there about a month and a half. It is actually a fairly good marker of where the south side goes from shallow to deep. So until someone comes back to claim it or a ranger removes it, it's kind of a handy land mark for me.[/size][/font]
