I'm Back

I haven't blogged in a long time and I apologize to my readers for that. My grandmother passed away last week and I have been really consumed with her illness for the past month or so.

I have been fishing since I last blogged and had some success. My father in law and I went to Bass Lake and caught some bass and yellow perch a few weeks ago. Jim caught two nice bass and I caught one nice bass and 2 small yellow perch. It wasn't exactly dynamite fishing but it was relaxing for me.



This weekend I plan to hit the water really hard and see if I can figure out what the walleye are doing. My plan is to explore some sunken islands and weed edges on Boysen. Hopefully I will come home with a few to replenish my supply. I cooked all my reserves for the family diner we had in honor of my grandmother last week.



I am really going to miss my grandmother. She was always an upbeat person and was super excited anytime I brought fish home. She didn't care if they were huge walleye or if they were tiny yellow perch. She was just excited because she knew that if I brought fish home, we would have a fish fry. I remember bringing home a bunch of bluegills and bluegill hybrids from Renner and she was elated. It took me two hours to clean them all but they tasted delicious. I will miss the look on her face and the sounds of excitement. But I'm at peace because I know that at least she won't have to suffer in the hospital anymore.



I hope you all get out and do some fishing here soon. Feel free to post any comments and please let me know how the fishing is turning out in the rest of the state. Be safe out there!
