Man where do I begin? The summer has come in with a bang! The beautiful weather and warm water have the fish excited… both the quantity and quality of fish continue to amaze! Trips are averaging between 20-35 fish with some real trophies coming over the side of the boat…

Pat Gurr and his two friends came in for a half day of fishing and boated 22 fish to 9.5 lbs. Then came Jay O'Brien and family in for a super half day and they boated 29 bass to 10.5 lbs. Next trip out I had friends Derek and Dustin, in town to do some work, take a half day to get some good fishing in and we managed 17 bass with another beautiful 10.5 pounder. That's 3 trips in a row with fish over 10 lbs. Then I had Doug Hall and family in for another super half day and we managed 21 fish with his son landing a gorgeous 9.25 pounder. The next day we had Walt Kunau and son in for another super half day and we managed 23 bass to 10.75 lbs. Finally I had David and Dallas Ard in for a mornings fishing and young Dallas managed to boat his personal best, tipping the scales at 9 lbs. even.

Trick is to get out early and beat the heat! But with fishing like this you can sure have some fun in the early part of the

 day and be home in time for lunch.
