May 21, 2016 Sat 8AM-2PM-pike and bass fishing with John Riek
Where: Mississippi R. pool 8, Pool 7 by myself PM
Weather: (1253) calm, clear, 77°
H2O: 6.38↓, 50 kcfs, 68 °, clear
Caught: Me: 5 LMB 13-16” PM (by myself) 20” SMB, 20” pike
John: 3 LMB14-16”, 3 Pike 22-28”, 1 walleye 20”
Observations: Lawrence Lake and the Stoddard Bay is really becoming weed choked. The large mouth bass in Lawrence Lake appear to be done spawning. The bluegills are making their beds on Lake Onalaska.

Today I struggled to catch fish. Our main goal was to catch pike, but they were pretty uncooperative. If it had not been for my using a Senko and catching LMB I would not have caught much.
