Windy Thursday

30-40 mph winds didn't deter five anglers from visiting MI-50 at lunch today. Tomski continued his rally with a couple of fish and Tim, being Tim, paced everyone with two more fish. Here's the creel count:

Tomski: 1 lb 15 oz, and 2 lb 0 z

Tim: 1 lb 12 oz and 1 lb 13 oz

Redemption for Chuck

Chuck apparently was shamed into fishing again at lunch today in an attempt to recover from his 5 ounce bass yesterday. An comeback he did, leading all anglers today with the biggest fish of the day and the most fish of the day. Congrats Chuck. Here's the results

Skunk List: Bridgett

What Happened to the Fishing?

My how the fishing has changed. Yesterday saw records falling like a sequined dress on prom night, but today, a mere 24 hours later and only one fish was landed between four anglers. Here's the results from MI-10:

Chuck: 0 lb 5 oz (yes, that right, five ounces)

Skunk List: Tim, Tomski and Bridgett

Chuck - 0 lb 5 oz (tee hee) largemouth bass

Tim - 0 lb .0001 oz Largemouth Bass

Spring Open - Western Division

One dedicated angler went all the way to Lake Casitas to start the 2010 Spring Open. The scenery was wonderful and the fishing was fantastic. Sadly, despite fishing on the morning of April 1st, the location was just a little west of the Main Injector ponds.
