manitoubass2 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well, after some early morning fishing yesterday (which was alright for bassin') me and the family decided to take a two hour drive and visit her brother for the first time. He used to live right across from us, but decided to move a couple months ago. He just told me "some place in the bush", lol, and I laughed at the thought of him never doing anything "outdoorsy". Checked the forecast and it all looked good, so off we went. We get to the location, "WHAT?! McCombs landing on Rainy Lake???" I was lucky, had the tackle and two rods in the back! So we took a nature walk, played with the kids, had a BBQ and visited, which was really nice. Then I seen some clouds forming so time to get out the tackle and try a few casts. It was windy, like real windy, and the water temps were of the hot shower variety. Well within minutes of the storm hitting, and only about 15 casts in, I landed 6 little hammer handles. My son caught one also! Bonus!!! Then, it storms pretty good for abit, we decided to stay and let it pass rather than drive in the heavy rain. After an hour or so, it cleared and we got packed up and ready to go. They headed out for a quick smoke, so out came the rod again, hehehe. Three casts and a nice smallie hit good, gave a great fight, and lept from the water twice! He was hooked pretty bad though, so out came the fillet knife as well and made for a nice midnight snack! Good times Momma and baby walking the trail to the top of the cliff more kiddos Baby buggaboo with her uncle checkin out the view, it really was nice, wish we had a better camera me and mah babe night view Bass time, pretty good one too! horrendous shot of my sons pike, this one was hooked hard too Back home now and ready for some cold front bass tomorrow!
