Cedar Lake - 8/12/12
Message:
Headed to Cedar with Bob(NWDarkcloud). Most of the morning was cloudy/overcast and humid with temperatures in the upper 70s/low 80's. Water was very warm to the touch. Around the north weedline near the state launch, Bob managed the first LMB of the day - it lacked in length, but made up in girth! After an hour or so, we decided to motor on to the opposite side of the lake (nearby the southern public beach). We spent some time trying a variety of lures but there wasn't much action on this end. We then drifted down the west side from south to north - there were a few hits and i spotted some followers in the water but did not manage to boat anything. We did do some "shopping" and plucked off some misc. rigs from over hanging branches along the the way - thanks shore fishers! :D We decided to drift the east side as well - so as we made our way across (NW to SE, just north of the YMCA beach), we both trolled some swimbaits - Bob felt a decent hit but no hookset :( We did some more "shopping" around the YMCA floating platform and plucked off a few bobbers but left it on the the floating platfrm for the ymca kids to use. By this time it was around noon and weather conditions changed from cloudy/overcast and humid to SUNNY & HUMID - the temperature rose to probably mid 80's... it was plain HOT. We anchored at a few promising spots but drifted most of the way from South to North. Bob was able to boat the 2nd LMB of the day: We ended up where we started and decided to anchor down to see if would have better luck with the weedlines again.... We got bored with boating so many fish, we decided to clean the bottom of the lake by reeling in the weeds :? It was around 3pm and I had to end the trip early as i was literally burnt from the hot sun! (thanks weather.com for the clouds & rain forecast). Although I got skunked - the trip out on the water was still a Great time. Good company always makes a trip more pleasant - thanks again Bob!

I stopped by Bob's place this morning and was sorry to hear about your skunk, Jason. Do you or could you have the day off tomorrow? Bob should have the boat all rigged up for McDonough. . . . :wink:
