It was too windy Monday afternoon, launched anyway. could'nt get my trusty lil Johnson 15 to go slow enouph without conking out, after about 10 restarts I had to start rowing back to the launch, into the wind, making no headway into the wind, I found myself being blown right into someone's pier where I held on for dear life. The pier owner came to check on me and I told him my tale of woe. He said I could remain there holding on to pier or I could beach my craft on his beach and walk back to the launch, I chose to cling to his dock like an Alabama tick on a blood hound until the wind abated which would be about 1800 hrs, it was 1702 then. I waited 20 minutes and the wind showed no signs of weakening. so I decided to try another restart and fired up on the first pull and I backed out back into the lake put in forward gear and the wind lost that battle and I made it back loaded up and went home, and Oh Yeah the thermostat on my Ol' truck would not open, but she got us home.

I will be on the lake sometime this afternoon, using my trusty little gregor alum. boat and my 1st attempt will be that little lilly pad area by the public launch to try a bass lure out, then I will head down to the South end over that deep hole for silvers that I think will be down deep after all the weekend folks stirred up the fish, gonna go down about 30 to 20 feet. Feel free to approach us for some fish stories and a little BS, my boat--I call her me2me2---the worst day fishin' is better than the best day workin'--dont cha just love Mondays????
