quick shore fish/mayfly hatch???

[manitoubass2]

Really nice day today so I grabbed some minners and decided to go sit at the beach for a shore fish this evening.

 

Not much for action, a decent chunky lil bass and a few sauger landed in about two hours. Pretty boring but hey, nothing wrong with that?

 

Caught the bass quick, first few casts. Short fish, maybe 17" but thick as my bloated head!

 

 

So you gotta problem with this guy owning a handgun? Meet me here??? byob

 

 

Scenery was beautiful, very relaxing.

 

 

 

Odd thing, we've had no mayfly hatch this year then BOOM! Everywhere!!!! Latest hatch I remember... ( pic doesnt do it justice, they are thick with juvies)

 

 

 

Facebook tells me its "yay you have a dog day" or something like that? So here is ivy, at my feet as usual waiting for bed.

 

 

Miigwich!

I've seen late hatches of giant brown drakes up on Nipigon in August, it can be quite the sight!

I'm so glad the kids look like their Mom. I have to tell you that puppy Ivy is absolutely gorgeous, I don't think I've seen him or her before. as for you getting a gun up there you are going to need more than 1 when the boys come a knockin' at your door looking for one of the girls. It won't be long Rick, probably already started.

 

Football season is a few weeks away, PM me with your predictions for the season. Watch out for the Bills, that is if they get someone to hit the broad side of a barn with a football. Maybe start an NFL thread this year? Has to be more than 2 NFL followers here.

Nice Rick. Nice looking dog.

 

There is another hatch of something on the lake here. Bugs flying everywhere again. Might explain the surface feeding going on.
