Fishing - 7-26-09 & 8-9-09

Howdy folks! Haven't done a fishing update in quite a while!

Was out fishing at Bartlett both 7-26-09 & 08-09-09, boy was it hot!!! We did go out on the boat but stayed behind the marina using the trolling motor. Fishing was slow...The trip before was very productive, so we had great hopes for a few spots we found. We were catching fish (mostly small) but we had to work hard for each one. 07-26-09 we finally found some big blues using a red-tailed minnow lure. Problem was, the wind really picked up around 12/noon (same on 8-1), casting a wet fly was tough in the wind & holding the boat steady was near impossible! Every time we got on the fish the boat got SLAMMED and I had to fight my way back. We ended up trotting in the bay & eating some warm Lunchables (yuck!) before going in...We really need some more MRE's!

Both trips we left early 2-5pm and didn't do any dock fishing for crappie. We'll start crappie and bass fishing again, soon.
