The forecast was way off for this past week. Wow! We fished in sweats and goretex most of the week but we grinded HARD and netted some fish as well as averaged about 8-9 follows per day. Wednesday was a big-fish-type day for us with 2 big fish lost at boatside and 2 more followers....one of which was one of those fish you never forget. We saw fish from 20 to mid-50 inch class but most all of them just nipped at our stuff all week except for Monday nite and Tuesday morning.

We stayed in the same hotel as KVD and saw some really nice bass boats. The tournament did not interfere with us because most of those guys traveled to the Canadian side of Belle Island and caught the size bass needed to cash a check. 4 pound average smallmouth is what the top guys had heading into today's final day.

If you have not ever had bumpy cake, you must order one from Sander's located in Detroit. They deliver via US Mail after October 1.
