Thursday, August 12, 2010 Today being the last day to do some serious fishing most of us were up earily to get out on the water. Except for Austin. At 11:00AM the weather was nice, sunny, 79 degrees, dewpoint 66, Humidity 65%, the wind S/W at 7mph. Forcast was 20% showers (that never came) with 70% thunderstorms in the evening.
Thursday evening the final Big fish awards were: Jared had the Pike at 24 inches. Jimmy Harper the Bass/Walleye at 19 inches. Jimmy went over to Horse Lake and the bass were hitting top water lures. he had a Large Pike come straight up out of the water but did not get his top water lure. Jared said that his son Dylin had a decent size Pike on that would have taken the prize but it came hafe way out of the water, shook its head, and spit out the jig back at their canoe. That evening, we ate fish again. We also ate up some of the food we packedin so that we would not have to pack it out the next day.
This was the night I gave out the Coffee award to Jimmy Harper. He was always the first one up nd had a pot of coffee ready for us every morning.
