Well, not like we thought.. we started early with a run to Wauconda Bay throwing top water and square bills, we had a lot of action early but mostly shorts, we were able to put one keeper in the boat when i told Zane to switch to a senko and throw it at the edge of the sea wall, i pick up our second small keeper on a square bil, we continue working back to the old creek when i have a fish blow up on the frog and i miss it, Zane throws right in with the senko and ...bam.. it a nice 3-4 lb fish that promptly come unbuttoned...dang emoBang. we fish around in there a little while longer only to catch a few more shorts. We decide to make a run to CFP ..good lord the waves and wind were crazy we finally get to CFP and start with a frog and senko i have a nice fish hit the frog i set the hook and the fight is on , Zane i grabbing the net it looks to be a 6 and i am thinking this is it ..then the fish decides it doesnt want the frog anymore and promptly returns it to me. emoBang , im thinking on they will hit this frog today.. a few cast later Zane gets our 3rd keeeper on the frog a nice 17 in LG i tell him we need to upgrade then all of the sudden BAM another 6 + this time i think i have a good hook set and the fight is on. only to have the fish do the same thing after about the 3rd jump he returns my frog as well...a few minutes later zane hooks up with our 4th keeper and we cull the one we have that is a 15 1/8 fish ...we keep throwing in the area for a while longer and nothing else. We make a move to a little bit deeper water close to stumps and my woes continue, i grab the shakey head and make a cast as soon as the worm hits the water it starts to move i rareback and .....nothing.....crap...what di i have to do to put a keeper in the boat.. make another cast and again it starts to move set the hook and finally its a small keeper , but it doesn't help us so back in the water. We continue to work the Shakey head, square bill and chatter bait for the next hour until its time to go weight in...and watch the comedy show that's a Saturday on Chick with the double jet ski trailer parked on the ramp. (i think they were in the restroom) you know our first TX there there were park rangers all over the parking lot,when we came in Saturday would have been a perfect day for them to be present to inform some folks on how to or not to PARK ON THE RAMP.
over all we had a fun day finished with 7 something it was truly a day of what ifs congrats t all the winners...see you at the next one.
