Monday, May 7 (from Ron)...With a 1-foot drop in the gauge, thought the water would be murky, but it
was amazingly clear. Fished Milldam Creek from 5 to 7:30 p.m., catching six small bass, with the biggest at 1-5. Also caught several small white perch; lost count
of how many I got on the beetlespin. Caught some, too, on the XTS and Prank, which they were hitting equally aggressively. A couple of small crappie were in the mix, as well. Not a bad trip, even
though the wind was a bit strong for my liking.
Wednesday, May 9 (from Ron)...With the gauge at 1.0, I fished the saltwater Tuesday and today. Was skunked yesterday, but found one 17-inch bluefish this evening. Rudee Inlet is still very
murky but should clear up, given the forecast I saw. Hope the gauge comes back up
for the weekend, and I can get on some bass.
Thursday, May 10 (from Ron)...Too windy and wrong tide for Rudee, so I opted for a quick trip to upper
North Landing. Got stormed out but not before finding a lone 1-10 on the XTS. I managed to get loaded up and homebound before the maelstrom hit in full
force. Weekend looking good!
Sunday, May 13 (from Ron)...Launched on Ashville Bridge Creek at 6 p.m., and by 6:15, serious fog had settled in, and it got kind
of spooky. Gar were everywhere, and they took a few swipes at the XTS, but there were no hook
ups. Caught two dinks to 12 inches on the XTS and Senko. Also caught three small
crappie on the beetlespin. The bass were very tight to shore/structure. Saw a lot of minnows, which
was a good sign.
