I stepped out of the house to put the flag out at 5:30 and went back inside and called my Son and told him to forget going fishing. It was 81 already with 88% humidity. My glasses fogged over and it took my breath away. I will wait for better days to go fishing. EB
I said to heck with it and fished Monday afternoon, I had been cooped up in the house long enough. I decided to hit Prairie Queen for the first time this year. Figured a hot day not many anglers would be outside. Think I was only there for an hour or two with a frozen bottle of water that wasn't frozen anymore when I left, but it kept it cool. So did fishing under the bridge where I caught close to 2 dozen redear sunfish in the 3 - 4" range, a few small bass and saw hundreds of little juvenile fish hugging the riprap.
I did manage to hit PQ again today after using leeches out at Wehrspann for some walleyes and catching a bunch of small catfish that looked they were about to pop. Again hooked quite a few small bass near the submerged trees near the main channel. I did hook into a decent 15" largemouth bass.

Good job Chris, I use to love fishing in the heat when others were coming off the lakes. My lungs won't handle it anymore so I have to pick my days now when I can go out. EB
Man, ya'll need to slow your roll with all these fishing trips. Ya'll gonna clean out the lakes:biggrin Ya'll really have not fished since July?:scratchhead
I got my knee taken out again by a speed boat that was pulling a tube and decided to have some fun at my expense. He went round in a circle and kept throwing the guy on the tube at me and finally threw up a big wave into the side of me and knocked me out of my seat and twisted my knee again. I will have more surgery on it in Nov again. That ended my fishing for this year. I had the same thing happen to me on Lewis and Clark Lake 2 years ago. EB
Sorry to hear that EB. Hope your surgery goes well and you heal quick.
Thank you I go to the Surgeon tomorrow morning and see what he says has to be done. I tried therapy and a cortizon shot and they didn't help much. EB
EB I grew up in nebraska and lived there for 24 years. I see where you fished Lewis and Clark lake. I have done well there in the marina on the SD side of the lake in the fall. Have you fished there at all.
I fished that lake a few years ago and didn't fish the marina because it was pretty busy but fished by the dam and then up the lake a ways and fished a drop off. EB
Just checking to see if I can post some pictures.
some more pics.
and more pics, this is Chris Carter that fished with me a few times.
Thanks to you EB, I got hooked on crappie. This year I spent most of my time using the waders more and bowfishing for carp on the river. Still managed to fit in some trips to take the nephew fishing for bluegills. Hope that one day, once he learns patience, to hook him into some crappie.
Cheers to 2016 and I hope that all goes well with your knee. :)
Thanks Chris the knee is on hold for now. The cortisone shot seem to be working so far. EB
