Gave Andy another fishing lesson this morning. Ended up with about 12, including this 21" caught on a jig and chigger craw under a dock. Cool, fairly strong wind out of the NW.

August 6, 2009 - Lake Waubesa
Back to Waubesa for about 4 hours this morning (8 to noon). Wind calm ... temps about 75. A lot of green on top of the water. Fishing was slower, but still caught about 10, all on banjo minnows. Biggest was a fat 19"er. All fish were deep under docks and near a post. The 19" grabbed it and ran but I didn't get a hook in. Two casts later he grabbed it again and the circle hook went into the meat of the mouth.

August 5, 2009 - Lake Waubesa
Tried something new today ... Worms were slow, the lake was calm, and the water was fairly clean. After two hours of slow action I tied on a banjo minnow. I ended up with about 15 bass, including two at 16", one each at 17", 18", and 21". All were deep under docks and pontoons. Most of the larger fish sucked the bait in, the 18" came out of the water to get it! Hot temps, no wind. One day before the full moon.

August 1, 2009 - Lake Waubesa
Finally an end to the three week dry spell! Caught about a dozen this morning ... the biggest being just over 20" and 4.5 lbs. Wackey rigged sinking minnow under a dock. I believe I had this fish hit 3 times this morning before I finally got a hook in him. I tried a circle hook the third time around ... it worked wonderfully! It's tough to resist setting the hook like normal ... but with a little practice it seems to really be the ticket!
