-July 3rd BOD bite -- 4 Pm to 7:30 Pm

After a short pickle shower & "No" thunder, except for the M80s in the neighborhood:rolleyes: :D .. I plowed out to Tri @ 4 PM in the 1-3' Yahoo every-which-way slam waves - ran short lines one notch up on the loc-tites w/ 3 oz snap-weight 5' ahead of 1/4 oz R-traps for a 15-16' line-spread @ 2.7 to 2.9 sog & went to work (doin' my thing - wink) in the riled up water with a few spinnin' shad from the jet-blasters (purple holo G & firetiger)...

16 over 17"es with a 5-10 tops:) .. took the punch counter out cuz I thought this afternoons conditions were a Go - Yahoos or Not...

-really what made my day was that I brought in 6 lively 2.5 - 3 lb S-Eyes in the L-well for the old folks across the channel - seen Rick's (next door neighbor to Bob n' Tilly/da 90 yro old folks I help out) GKids fishin' across the channel as I was unloadin' the Beater I-Boat n' gave Rick a shout about castin' his GDaughters line up on top of my seawall & the next trip back to the Beater I would put a lil' See-Prize on the end of her line:eek: ... well she done a fine job crankin' it to the other side, but it kinda broke her line when her Big Bro tried to lift it outta the water ... talk about Big Eyes on a Lil' Gal ~ really made my day :) --

Here's a photo 3 seq of todays troll trail on Tri -- everything will say 1.8' as I was back home when I took the photos, but the true depth ranges from 3.1 to 4.5' ~ West end to East end...

-Bebob da I-Bobray:)

PS ... I made a effort to stop @ 50 before comin' in, but didn't get the last set in quickly enough .. 7 doubles today also - busy old fart

... n' it just finished for a early 4th for the old fart -- I might just sleep though the 4th tomorrow cuz when the lake clears of a couple of thousand boats n' a lil' while ~ well, let's just say the wheels are a-grindin' :eek: :rolleyes:

- kinda think maybe that they mighta stirred up a sUMO or two for the nite-bite ... besides I can't take two days in a row of sUMo slam waves from the Yahoos (da whacky day-critters) :) ...

.. da old fart shot a total blank today & I just came in early to call Spend-a-Day to see if the new SS Prop, that was supposed to be in yesterday, was in...ya, you guessed it:( nada...

I had 15 dinks under 15"es today, but in the wind, waves n' clouds yesterday, I had 26 w/11 over 21"es on a good break pod in 3 hrs - not too shabby for this time of year (-in the day-lite!!!)...

PS ... Bro - Ran into Ole' Goober Kanipes (Mr Bud/Columbus) n' John on Tri around noon, said to say HI to ya:)

-the new prop adds 2 mph to top-end & a better wot ride, but under 5 mph sucks, seems to be a lil' outta balance I think...

-It was so Hot today...
& the bite was so Slow that I took a refreshin' dip n' IL & scrubbed 4 months of trollin' grime off the Beater I-Boat this afternoon ... flat out "No" breeze n' "No" takers in a half hour of trollin' off O' Connors Point this afternoon... the Old Northside Ski area water-temp was 87.4 degrees...

-that's what I get for not goin' out last nite & havin' things to do this morn' ~ a true-blue inland I-Guy should be a-sleepin' the day away in the AC this time of year!!!
