Day 4 of 5
Sunday, August 28, 2011 After another slow morning of fishing decided to eat breakfast and move camp to the west end of the lake to make tomorrows trip out a little shorter. Right after we got camp up and started casting Dave caught a walleye and a few casts later I had a eater pike. After a little more walking shoreline and casting I came into a cove where I saw largemouth and smallmouth swimming around ran back to get Dave and we headed in with our boats we each to a side and started fishing. Half way around back Linz and I found big bass swimming around a downed tree so I started casting a buzz bait and right away got a 3lb largemouth few casts later got a 2lbs smallie even though they are the only 2 I kept let a few smaller ones go and had 4 more bigger bass spit me when they jumped. I don't care what anyone says topwater fishing for Bass/Pike is the most exciting way to fish. After all that fun got to eat a pike/smallie/largemouth/walleye dinner.
