For Week Ending Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020

 

Wednesday, Sept. 23 (from Ken)...Had a strong suspicion it would be a slow day, given the low water we've had for a week, coupled with a steady rise that started yesterday and lasted throughout the night (and has been coming in all day), and let's just say I wasn't disappointed. I went for two hours before I had the first strike on a topwater and landed a dink. I then went a little better than another two hours before I had my second strike on a worm and boated another dink. And that was the extent of my day, split between Albright's and West Neck. Water temp when I was leaving the dock this morning registered about 58 degrees, and it had risen to about 66 when I quit at 2:30. Passed Rob Peppers and a partner I couldn't recognize enroute to my first hole this morning. Also saw a couple of fellas bobber fishing from a Tracker, but that was the extent of my company today, except for some kayakers who came out after I had launched this morning. Not certain what I'll do for the two tourneys this weekend but will figure something out by start time.

Thursday, Sept. 24 (from Ron)...I finally got out on the water after a 23-day hiatus. Fished Tecumseh and had a few taps. Managed to catch one bass, but it was a good one: a 4-12 on a SwimSenko, which really made my day. Had two strikes on topwater, and that was all.

Saturday, Sept. 26 (from Ron)...Caught a few fish today. Did a very long trip to Tecumseh and logged 7.5 hours in the yak, which I'm getting too old for! Landed eight bass, with the biggest only17.5 inches (didn't weigh). Wet a line at 0700, and just after colors, the bite stopped cold until after 1200. Water was a murky mess. Last fish on the line was a beautiful 5-12 bowfin that made my day, as the rain soaked me to the bone.
