Skeet’s Beat – Mother’s Day

A Golf Course Crawdad - Where's a Fishing Rod?

This week started with Mother’s Day.  So, me and the girls took Kim golfing at Black Oak Golf Course near our home in Auburn.  We had a great time at the course.  I had a few good holes, more bad ones, but I parred a couple of holes and didn’t on others.

The girls had a great time, they caught a crawdad, and saw some giant bullfrogs and we even came across a gopher snake too.  It was a great day with the family.

Skeet’s Beat – Douglas Lake

I went into Douglas Lake feeling very optimistic.  I had done my homework and felt ready for what was going to be happening once we got there.

Once practice started, I was able to locate some really good schools of fish.  In fact, I found some of the schools that a lot of the guys who finished in the top 12 were fishing.

I just couldn’t figure out how to make them bite.

I forced myself to fish deep because I didn’t think there was any way to do well fishing shallow.  I turned my back on the bank and fished out.  Turned out I was right, but I couldn’t make them eat.

Skeet’s Beat – Back from Bull Shoals

That didn’t go how I had hoped.

I got on a pretty steady bite at Bull Shoals, and I’m pretty sure I was on the same bite that the guys that finished in the top 12 were on.  But, I was in the wrong area of the lake.

I went there assuming that most of the bass in the upper ends of the lake would have spawned already, and that those on the lower end would be just getting there; but, I was wrong.  The fluctuating water levels and all of the storm fronts that have been coming through the Ozarks must have kept the fish off of the beds.  The water temperatures upriver were in the high 50′s and the fish that Brandon Palaniuk won on must have been prespawn.

Skeet’s Beat – Family Ski Trip

Skeet Hits the Slopes

Skiing with Kim and the girls was fun.  The girls were on spring break from school, so we rented a house in the snow for a few days and took a little vacation.  Well, there really wasn’t much snow up there, our Sierra Mountains are at 50-percent of the snow pack.

We went to the slopes for a couple of days, and I spent most of my time learning what to do on skis, because it was my first time on them.  I did pretty good, I only biffed it a few times, but I wasn’t really going up the big hills.  We talked about going on some bigger runs, but there was no way I was going to risk that when the season is just getting going.
