Monday, April 20 (from Ron)...Went to Rudee Inlet this evening. One truck with
trailer and one car were the only ones in the parking lot at 5 p.m. Was
very nice out there and caught a 17- and 22-inch speckled trout. Still no
flounder.
Tuesday, April 21 (from Ron)...
Launched about 5 p.m., with the howling wind. Upper North Landing was well protected with high water, but the bass had lockjaw. After more than two hours, had only gotten one bite. The fish weighed in at 2-4. A fella bank fishing said yesterday was really good, but he agreed with me that they were all hiding today. The big cell that formed this evening missed me by a narrow margin. The colors were amazing.

Friday, April 24 (from Ron)...Launched Blackwater Trading Post for what should have been a
good trip. Had navigated 1.5 miles eastward when the wind kicked up, the sky turned black, and
the rain came down hard! Found a port in the storm...a duck blind...for momentary protection. As I learned, though, those duck blinds leak. Got soaked and was cold as I headed back through the tempest and managed one small bass to avoid the
skunk before hypothermia set in.
Sunday, April 26 (from Ron)...Revisited Blackwater without the storms this morning. Caught six bass and lost a couple. All hit the SwimSenko. Caught three dinks, a 1-15, 2-3, and a 2-9. The bites were very subtle. Tried topwater and XTS minnow, but plastics close to shoreline were the ticket.
Sunday, April 26 (from Gary)...He didn't catch anything big but had a good day. Caught 20 bass and likely would have had more but broke the bill on the one crankbait that was putting all the fish in the boat. He tried some other colors of the same bait but to no avail. The bass had their mind set on one and only one color. Nevertheless, Gary was able to satisfy a friend's request for some bass for the skillet. He showed me five fish...all good eating size...in his livewell.
Sunday, April 26 (from Ray)...He was all smiles as he told me he caught four bass and one perch today. Given the number of cars at the marina, the fish surely must have felt a bit pressured.
