[size 2] [font "comic Sans MS"] Well didn't make it up to Haymeadow as planned but I did make it out to 8.0 Mile Road. I hit the lake about 05:30 and suited up one rod with anchovy and started tossing lures with the other. Right off the bat the anchovy rod started dancing but no takers. After about hour it became apparent that lures were not the way to go. The bite on anchovy was coming about every ten to fifteen minutes. So I setup my other rod for anchovy. Finally picked up a Striper at around 07:00, it was only a 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. The morning continued with several bites but no eaters. Once again at about 09:00 another Striper pretty close to the same size as the first. Low producing day but the bites kept me interested. Packed up around 11:00 and almost headed for home. Got back up to the truck and saw a guy standing to the side of his truck scratching his head. He was buried in the gravel up to and above the axle with a Wave Runner in tow. It took us about a hour to dig him out. Also think I may have wore about 5,000 mile of wear off my tires. That is the first time (that I know of) a 2-wheel drive had to bail out a 4-wheel drive. All in all it was a good day. [/font] [/size]
