Decided to head to Rogers, even if it was opening day and found one parking space left. Needless to say we where the only one of two boats bass fishing. Worked the islands, then went north were Bob got a 3.9lb Lgmouth on a white jerkbait. Then a pickerel hooks up for him as well as a perch. Things shut down at 9 as we worked that end. 12, I pick up a 1lber to break my skunk useing a crawl shallow. We moved back south and a pickerel took my white X-Rap and 1/2 hour later a stock brown trout hit it. [ Thank god, Wife was all over me about fish to eat.] Called it a 1:30. Another great day to be on the water and the fish are starting to wake up. Banana

With Bobct only getting one fish at Pataganset on thursday, we headed for Powers to try our luck. Worked the ripraff and rocky shorelines as well as some drop offs with white crankbaits,jerkbaits,hair jigs and crawdads. Had a few follow the cranks, but no takers. Had one pickup my crawl and spit it out just as fast. At 12 I changed to a senco and in a few cast got a hit. Set the hook, but it felt like he spit that out as well. While this was happening the wife was calling me on the phone, so I talked to her for a minute then hung up. As I was reeling in the bass was still hooked, Boated a 2.7lb bass for the first fish of the year. Also the only fish for the day. Now to try and find someplace quiet next week.

Sat. found us at Katherine finding no takers and only a few in the channel, we headed for deepwater. We found them on drop offs of 10-12ft water. Bobs Yamamoto slappin Hogs got most of the bass and he wouldn't share. 11 bass and 2 pickerel with Bobs 3.9 as lunger. Sunday was a trip to Bomosheen with the water lighting up with jumping bass and trout on the south side. I was able to get an 18" Rainbow for dinner as well as our combined total of 15 bass all dinks. Buzzbaits and cranks worked the best today. Monday was a trip to champlain at Labrees ramp. Bob let me have a buzzbait and it got me a nice Pike as it took the bait twice.[ Must have been blind ] We did pull some off a sunken barge, caralina rigged lizards. We found on the sidewinder for a total of 7 bass and 2 pickerel. 2.3 for lunker by Bob. Tuesday we went back to Champlain to Bensens landing. We fished there south to the narrows. Only 5 bass and 1 small pike caught on buzzbaits and bluecraws. Missed alot of fish in the waterchestnuts running a frog. Alot of top water action, what a ball.
