Very Windy Saturday Afternoon

Wow, talk about a windy day Saturday! When we got to the pond in the early afternoon/ late morning, the water looked very calm, almost glass like. It was cool, but the sun was out and there were only a few clouds out at that point, with slightly warmer temperatures being forecast for the day.

We launched the U.S.S. Northshore and were off running and gunning. Nothing for the first 45 minutes or so and then I caught a decent size perch (on a jig no less) and then a slime dart pickerel was soon to follow (on the same jig). A little while later BAM, Kman catches the first bass of the day. Probably weighed in at about 1 lb, but hey it was a bass! A little more time goes by and I catch another slime dart pickerel. By this time, the wind had picked up quite a bit and it got pretty chilly! The pond started to develop white caps on the waves, I kid you not! We were being tossed all over the place and Kman did his best to keep us on course and find some calm water somewhere. We spent another hour or so going all over the place, looking for the calm stuff, but it was very difficult. Finally we did find a small cove, which was very promising looking, but ended up not producing anything.

Getting tired of not catching anything, the Kman and I called upon an old indian ritual we were shown, many moons ago by a very old and wise indian Chief named Yatahey Yataho Yatawho. We prayed to the sun & wind Gods as shown before and just then, the wind started to die down. Kman guided the boat towards the northwest section of the pond, which has always been productive for us. Within minutes, BAM, Kman hooks into another bass. Maybe a little bigger than the first one, but still a bass and the main quarry we were after. Then I took a deep breath and made some precise casts, with the new gear I had purchased in the off season (for me anyway).

Bam, a bass about a lb. Then minutes later BAM, another one that was just a little bigger. In the next 20 minutes or so, I landed another 3 bass, progressively getting bigger and with the biggest one weighing 3.7lbs. Kman caught the last fish of the day, with a chunky 2 lb'er. We were pretty frozen at that point and called it a day. It was by no means a killer day, but a decent one! I am SO looking forward to the warmer weather and the tournaments.
