Winchester Lake 06/16

Dan1 (aka Dan) has been traveling a lot for work, lately, so we headed up to Winchester Lake for some fun fishing. The rules were: 1) We can’t leave until each of us has caught at least one bass; and 2) Rockies count as minus-one bass. The weather forecast looked pretty good; sunny and cool with winds from the north up to nine miles per hour. However, when we got to the ramp at 8:00 am, we saw that the wind was blowing a steady 10+ miles per hour. I decided to throw a Savage Gear 3D Craw on a Ned rig jighead, in a vain attempt to avoid the rockies. It didn’t work: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img923/9185/nBkzIi.jpg[/img:539859c641] Although I started out the day with minus-one bass, I soon got back to even: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3039/OEzutE.jpg[/img:539859c641] Meanwhile, Dan stayed even: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3869/tLr7NR.jpg[/img:539859c641] I got into plus territory with a short bass that bit a weightless wacky-rigged Senko dropped next to a stump, but it quickly got negated by another rocky: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3431/FnfRMk.jpg[/img:539859c641] After 11:00 am, we started talking about cooking lunch. I planned to show Dan how to prepare magret de canard at my house, so we each needed to catch a bass. Dan got his first: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3361/pB9z21.jpg[/img:539859c641] I got mine soon after, but didn’t get a photo because we rushed off the water by noon. And the duck turned out perfectly: [img:539859c641]https://imageshack.com/a/img921/2750/VKw4Hr.jpg[/img:539859c641]
