White Bass Hoedown

The white bass fishing has been simply amazing. My daughter and I have caught tons of fish….way too many for our family to eat. So I defrosted a bunch of bags in my freezer, got the Fry Baby fired up, and asked who ever I ran into one evening over for dinner. It was loads of fun and I found my guests returning the favor with all types of vegetables from their gardens, wine, pickles, desserts, and even gazpacho. I was sitting on my porch one night thinking I would love to eat some type of chocolate dessert and one of my neighbors appeared at the back door with a plate of brownies. Although the season has pretty much passed, it is the best white bass fishing I've seen since the 70s. I may have to get a bigger fryer for next year.

June Fishing

As my small fishing boat is in need of repair we jumped in our kayaks and headed for the gulls. Unfortunately the current and wind were a bit much to contend with, but we managed to get a couple of White Bass....one even had minnow in its mouth.

Where have all the Lymans gone?

Started looking at buying a boat and it made me think about all the boats our family has owned. My favorite was a 21 ft. wood Lyman that we would run between the mainland and Middle Bass. When I was a kid these boats were quite common, but today you almost never see one on the lake. I wonder if most just fell into disrepair and were eventually junked? The upkeep involved a ton of work, but there is nothing like a Lyman for Lake Erie.
