long weekend report from camp

Post by **Chevy Champagne** » Mon May 24, 2010 6:53 pm

well we headed out to the camp site friday night and was all ready to go for the next mourning
DAY 1
the water was LOW now just a couple feet very low

these shoals are usually 12 feet under water

so get get out on saturday all day fishing hard...
a few pike and a handfull of rockbass to show

DAY 2
so we look over the map that night and think lets go into bark lake
what a good call within 5 minutes of trolling mickey hooks this nice eye

so were SUPER stoked thinking we found the spot we found the fish
but sadly that was the only one we got all day

wel trying other spots the low water came in advantage helping us find awsome spots for the summer....if the water ever goes up

got more rockbass after that
DAY 3
today we headed into bark lake again to try for a couple more hours
started off trolling but with the temperature so high we thought to drift and jig yet again another good call
mickey hooks into another awsome fish
a 23 incher

yet again high fives we found the fish but no way
the heat just brought us back in
the fishing is very tough right now
i didnt get one walleye all weekend
after a couple of hours on ice and about to be cleaned

so the stats

fish one was caught on a botom bouncer and spinner in around 20 feet of water

fish two was caught jigging in 12 feet of water with a leech

hopefully we can start doing better soon
thanks for reading and i hope you guys had a great long weekend

also i forgot to mention on our way up to one oof out spots we saw a huge fish in the water floating dead so we decide to go see what it was
turns out it was a 18 pound pike we put it on the scale to get it out of the water looked like it was dead for about a day
sad to see such a big fish dead like that
anyone have any idea of how it might of died?

the dead pike, is that the fish that was behind the mill? we saw it also but didnt check it out

heres what we got, the big one was just before you guys came over

and the other was just after you headed in

And THAT's how it's done!

Great looking fish all around.

I'm nervous about the water levels...
