Comments

The size of the bass has not been of a very good quality lately. I may need to try different types of baits. I did find some bass back into the backwater areas. I believe they were ambushing bluegills that were gorging themselves on the mayflies.
The beaches were full of people camping this weekend. It looked so peaceful: tents, campfires, family dog, boats tied to the beach and the campers gathered around the campfire. The smoke enveloped the whole site, as if it were a protective barrier to the hordes of mosquitoes looking for a human snack. And the sand! You cannot appreciate a dislike for the sand, unless you have camped in it. It gets into all cracks and crevices, eating utensils and the food.
