Well, I was asked by one of you guys to submitt a report on my fishing trip so ------. Problem is, I can't give up the location, other than it was a S.E. Idaho reservoir because I promised a fellow member not to divulge it and as usual, I forgot my camera. I try hard to keep my promises.
Anyway, for what it's worth, Sparky and I had a great time in our 5 hrs of fishing. Approached the shore with my tube about noon and observed clear water and with that I was able to sight fish in the shallows (for a while). Nothing like walking the shore, spotting a big ol bass, flipping my lure near him, seeing the take and landing it. Love it.[
] Problem is, this only lasted a little over an hr. and it turned murky with algae bloom, etc. Don't understand why clear one moment and cloudy the next. [:/] Anyway, did some blind casting from the bank, caught some more and then tubed it for the last few hrs. Ended up with 5 dinks and 14 LM from 13-16 in. The only draw back was they are getting lethargic in the colder weather and don't fight as well. It was cool out there.
