Maiden Voyage at Beseck Lake 4-22
Message:
I ran over to Beseck lake yesterday afternoon after work, to run my outboard with the new lower unit and prop. She ran ok at idle, but would only hit 8 mph. I need to clean the carbs due to sitting for 2+ years.
So after running the outboard a little, and scouting the lake, I finally wet a line. Water temps at the south end of the lake were 58 to 59 and a slight wind out of the south. So I looked around the shallows and found no bass looking for love, only sun fish and perch. Water is still to cold for love making. I worked my way down the opposite side from the launch fishing in 5 to 9 foot of water. No takers on anything, jigs, tubes, drop shot, jerkbait, crankbait, rattletrap.
Finally found some life in the NW corner, throwing a tube in 9 foot of water I got the chomp chomp, I swung and missed, and started to reel in to make another cast, and felt a tug again, I notice an18 inch pickeral chases my tube back to the boat. About 5 minutes later, I finally get a mushy feeling while dragging my tube on the bottom, and catch my fist bass of the season, a 1.25lb largemouth. Got him in about 6-8 ft of water, in the NW corner weedbed. Then another big slime dart chases my jig back to the boat, from about 5 feet of water. Of course now that I've found some life, I have run short on time, and have to head back to load up the boat for home.
Nice 2 hours on the lake with only 3 other boats out, I didn't have to touch any smelly damn slime darts, and got the skunk out of the boat. Life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
