Budd lake

[Hookmanski]

Fished hard today. Got to budd lake with 2 buddies around 10:30 and fished til 5. Between the 3 of us we threw every kind of presentation you could think of for whatever felt like biting but no takers. My buddy brought his jon boat so we were able to cover a ton of water, just couldn’t locate anything.

While throwing a lipless crank, I had a nice smallie chase it right up to the boat but he turned back at the last second. We also saw a carp darting around like crazy, before launching himself out of the water. It almost rammed our boat! Things you don’t see when you stay home.

First part of the day was calm and partly cloudy, but when the clouds rolled in the brought the wind and it got chilly. Thought the clouds might have helped the bite but no such luck. Another 3 guys were out there on their brand new bass boat, they hadn’t caught anything either which made us feel a bit better.

Good day overall, always learning. Just wish I could shake this skunk streak :’(
