Went out to Eloika for a few hours on Saturday before the wind chased me & my friend Steve off the lake. By the time we were heading for the launch there were white caps, & swells big enough to prevent us running more than 2 or 3 mph without swamping Steve's 14 ft duck boat. We fished the northern end from noon til' around 3:00. I only caught one 2.2 lb Largemouth, on a gold Rapala XR10. I lost another one next to the boat that was in the 4 lb class, that one hit a Black/Blue jig w/ a black #11 pork frog trailer. Not much action & the wind makes it impossible to fish plastics effectively. But we both had a good time & didn't get skunked so I can't complain. **These are a few of my favorite things: warm water, warmer weather, & serious Bass Thumb!
