| TODAYS CATCH MAY 12 - 2007 THIS TRIP WAS THE WINDY -EST ONE YET. IT BLEW 25 KNOTS ALL DAY WITH WAY HIGHER GUSTS. BIG WHITE CAPS ROLLED DOWN THE LAKE. OUR DRIFT SOCK SLOWED US DOWN BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO GET A REAL GOOD CATCH(WE COULD HAVE USED TWO DRIFT SOCKS BUT ONLY HAD ONE) I TRIED TO USE THE TROLLING MOTOR BUT IT COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE BUILDING WHITE CAPS AND WAVES. WE KEPT MISSING THE BITES. I THINK BECAUSE OF OUR SPEED THEY DID'NT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TURN WITH THE BAIT -IT WAS JUST PULLED OUT OF THERE MOUTH BEFORE IT TURNED TO SWIM AWAY WITH HIS CATFISH PRIZE THAT HE JUST SWAM REAL FAST TO CATCH. WE DID LAND ONE OF THE FISH THAT CHASED OUR PLANER BOBBERS DOWN. IT WAS HER FIRST FISH EVER A NICE CATCH. AND SHE CAUGHT IT ON MY NEW MINI PLANER BOBBER SHOWN IN HER HAND. THEY WORKED GREAT. THE NEW MINI PLANER PULLED 2 SHAD HEADS AND A SMALL WEIGHT NO PROBLEM . |
| WE HAD TO GO FAST TOO - LOTS OF NUTTY BOATS AND JET SKIS OUT. THE WATER WAS RUFF- LOT OF BIG BOAT CHOP AND WAVES AND WHITE CAPS -ALL THE MAKINGS OF A FUN BOAT RIDE |
| A FIRST EVERYTHING PICTURE - HER FIRST TRIP - HER FIRST FISH- THE MINI PLANER PROTO TYPE ITS FIRST TEST- AND OUR NEW MINI PLANER'S FIRST CATFISH |
