Because I'm the "coolest dad ever" and must live up to such a reputation, every time I take the kids fishing they want to have a contest to see who catches the most fish. We have turned this into what i call the "Red Bull Challenge." Simple really, whoever catches the most gets a can of Red Bull, Mtn dew has been substitued as well. Any way Logan (5) puts up 3 gills back2back yesterday, and is doing the whole..HAHA I'm gettin Red Bull thing, as Austin (9) is casting as far as possible, and muttering under his breath about how Logan is just lucky & he comes back and evens it up. Dad is at 0. Logan hits, Austin hits, on and on it goes. Finally dad gets on the board with 2 gills, and a LM Bass The tally yesterday was a staggering Austin 14 gills and Logan 13 gills, with Dad at 4 gills and 2 largies. so yep I got outfished by the worm under the float, ah who cares these kids have a blast!
the wind on Tetonka and Sakatah was Craziness yesterday 2 foot + rollers..found a sheltered bay, found some gills. in addition to wind, there is the Algea bloom, I mean green everywhere.just so you all know... I won't waste the gas or cash driving over that way again. Cannon Lake looked a little better but 2-3 foot rollers didn't allow for closer inspection. Anyway as Tom has alluded to in the past the algea bloom is terrible over that way. I figured either I go east to the Ol' Miss or west to lakes it is 1-1.5 hours from Mantorville either direction so I headed west. never again. any way just so you won't be disappointed like I was after an hour and 15 of: "are we there yet?" "we gotta be gettin closer!" "oh why didn't we go to Lanesboro troutfishing?!" and water with algea so bad I didn't want to fish it.
