Date: 6-24-15
Body of Water: Baker Lake
Boat: Arracuda
With: K and A
Target: LMB
Time: 6 - 9 PM
Conditions: Overcast, calm and quiet. Water and Air in the mid-70s
I finally got Arracuda prepared for the season, and so we went to Baker Lake on a beautiful, calm summer weeknight. We both arrived and left a bit early for the best bass fishing, but this was really about sharing the evening together, not the quality of the fishing. A Zoom Fluke around the thick weed edges did much better than anything else (usually Senkos rule here), and while we caught 10 or more bass, probably only three were legal-sized or better. So the fishing wasn't great, but the company was!

| A public West Michigan lake with no boat traffic! |
 |
| Zoom Flukes caught just about everything this evening. |
 |
| First non-tiny bass of the evening. |
 |
| Fishing with K and A on a calm summer's evening; "Perfection". |
What do I have to say about this?
K is off to grad school and it was a pleasure to share the evening with her. As an added bonus, we got off the lake before the mosquitoes got bad. Unfortunately, we were too early for the firefly show on the drive home. Everything was put away by 10 PM and I was fresh at my desk the next day. Arracuda makes certain things easier; and my girls make all things better. It really was a perfect evening.
