Comments:

It was time to get back out pike and bass fishing. The water has turned very muddy from all the recent rains, so I was not expecting too much action. My intuition was right; it was a struggle to find any action. I did catch the one decent pike, missed several other fish while throwing a buzz bait, and snapped my line setting the hook on a pike that was probably around the mid thirty inch range.

Observations:

The water is very dirty except for a few areas around the dredge holes on the lake and the channel behind the house.
