When I finally finished reporting to Uncle Sam, there were still a few hours of daylight left so I headed over to Evans Lake to see if any bass might cooperate.
It was still windy but there were some calm edges and I had a suspicion that I could find a hungry bass or two if I was careful and quiet.
I started fishing with a Swayback Spook topwater. I got one blow up but jerked it away before I got a hookup.
I had to remind myself - "Slow down"!
I switched to a small gold spoon I bought for white bass fishing.
A slow retrieve managed to fool this nice 15 incher.
Can you see him in the water?
Come to Pappa John

I threw the spoon for a while then decided to try the BGW. I left home in a hurry and did not have my normal Eagle Claw snelled bait hooks with me but I did have some large stainless saltwater hooks. I noticed that these were not as sharp as I would like but since I had left my hook sharpening stone at the house they would have to do.
I caught this nice bass but lost the next two.
I switched to a small weedless offset hook.
and finished the day with these two fat bass.
The wind began to die down just before sunset.
Picture of the day
I think I can sleep in peace now and quit dreaming about fish for a day or two.
Tomorrow is Sunday my thoughts will be on a different kind of fishing -
"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19

Nice to have that place to experiment with and try out new things.
White fever is sweeping the aquatic landscape...beware, there is only one cure
