Comments:

I was invite to do a little pre-tournament bass fishing with Kyle (Oaty) tonight, and I eagerly accepted. We do not fish together more than once or twice per year, but I enjoy it because I get to see what a tournament bass angle is using for baits and gear.
One thing about Oaty, he is always about fishing for bass, whereas I am about fishing for most any type of game fish as long as that species is biting. Right from the get go we ran into a pretty good bunch of LMB and pike. Oaty did not want anything to do with the pike, which was oaky with me. I was able to put a whopping on some nice sized ones while he targeted his bass. I tried to encourage him to put on a bright and shiny spinner bait so he could partake in some of the pike goodness, but he declined.

Observations:

Some submergent vegetation is starting to appear; both milfoil and underwater pads are now visible in the quite clear water.
