Category: fishing boat

I’m Constantly covered in bug spray. The mosquitos are just waiting for us to come outside. The wind gets rid of them for a day then there back. 

Coming out after a thunderstorm heading to the lake with the boat.

It’s cool and humid, cloudy and buggy. 20 minutes down the road to a small town now to the city a population of 3,600. We need a boat launch to get our boat on the lake. The swamps around here are not quite deep enough for us to put in.

Lake Mohawksin is known as a good fishing water depth is 9-25 feet.                                                                                                            

We have an old Lund fishing boat nothing spectacular but we love it. Best idea we ever had to get a boat.

We finally got out on our first lake this year. Not including our test drive to make sure all is working well.

We passed under some train trestles to get out on the lake so we decide to fish under the pylons for awhile. A train came by later.

The lake has a lot of islands and you have to be careful of the depth in some areas and watch out for any stumps and logs sticking out of the water.

We moved and eventually stopped in the middle of the lake where it came up to 10 feet. We got a lot of bites in the beginning and then we managed to catch some small mouths bass along with some perch.

There we’re some other boats on the lake but not many. We cranked some music,talked awhile as we swatted flies that were biting.

It’s been 4 hours now. We agree it’s time to go.  We’re burnt, tired and hungry and we have a bit of a drive home. We still need to get off the lake so we put it in gear and go. Leaving a bit of wake that no boat will see because we were out there by ourselves by then.

Lake Mohawksin. Nice lake, a lot of features and not a lot of traffic.
