Hey all,

 

Been a while since my last report.... fishing wise this year been very slow for me :wallbash: Only been able to target speckle trout and for the most part, been on the small size (not picture worthy)... but this weekend, was invited to the in-law's cottage (my wife's side) and what a blast we had B)

 

It's been almost 20 years since we set foot in that part of the country and let me tell you, we all had a super time. The plan was for my wife's brother to meet us at home this past Friday after work, then follow him to destination B) The drive was only an hour a half from my place and while driving.... plans of fishing was already being processed in my head :lol:

 

I was pumped to the max since I knew there was small mouth bass and lakers in the lake.... when we got there, it was kind of late..... but I had a plan :) Meet & greet the in-laws :) then setup the rod with an old school Jitterbug and let her rip on surface B)

 

This is what was waiting for us when we arrived B)

Then my daughter joined me on the dock for some action...

My wife and her brother were quite pleased to be sharing the fire pit along the shoreline

At this point I was very pleased with the results since my goal was reached but I wasn't done yet :blink: I wanted more :lol:B)

 

I decided to hit the beach area and cast into the shallows in front of the cottage.... this is the results

Another smallie on the Jitterbug B) Releasing the beauty :)

Man what a rush to fish in the dark and hear the sound of a feisty bass break surface and chomp on your lure B)

 

The next morning, I woke up, bright and early (5:30am) and went to the dock to see if I could get another beauty to commit to the old school Jitterbug but it wasn't meant to be :(

 

Here's the view of the office while I waited for the captain of the vessel anchored at dock side B)

Amazing report! Especially because i grew up fishing smallies on that lake! My grandparents had a house down at the other end of the lake for 15 years. Haven't been up there for a few years, really miss it!
