A Windy and Cold Trip




Ron said he found some wind protection this morning in the Crystal Lake burrow pit. "Getting there was easy," he said, "but the trip back northward in Tecumseh--not so much."

Heading south, Ron averaged 3.3 mph. However, he couldn't make over 2 mph against the wind. "The chop was no fun, either," he added. 

His total included a dink bass and a dink chain pickerel.

"The wind looks to be laying down now," he noted, adding, "maybe I'll go again later." 'Twouldn't be the first time he has made two trips in one day.


For his second trip today, Ron went to Lovitt's Creek from 3 to 5 p.m.

In his own words, it was "against my better judgment." The water was very low and a bit murky. He ended up catching one bass that weighed 1-3 and losing a smaller one on the XTS Minnow. That was better than the report he got from a fella he talked to at the launch site. That fella had been skunked at Landing Cove.

Said Ron, "The wind died down at sunset, but that didn't help the bite."
