Like Dan said, great day to be on the water.
It was nice unloading the tube and launching without all those damn green bugs pestering you.
Planned on heading towards the back of the lake, but hit a couple points on the way. No luck on the buzz, so switched to the Karashi and got a 3 pounder first cast.
Fished the rest of the day and ended with 7 total.
Around 2:30, I lost the Karashi and decided to do a drive by of some rock piles and call it a day. I was working my way back to the launch and saw Dannicus fishing up tight to shore, so gave him a wide berth and then tucked in to hit a little strip of vegetation further along the bank.
I’m slowly working towards the launch parallel to shore, just on the outside edge of the grass line, when I hear a hot rod motor coming up behind me.
Just figured it was one of the Jon boats that were out. I could tell it was coming up behind me and sounded like someone was going to try and pass between me and the shore, about 7-8’ away.
I turned around to see what the hell was going on and that’s when I see a cowboy hat and the back of a head coming full speed, right at me about 5 feet away.
I started to say “Whoa!”, right as Mr Dan plows into me with his super tube! lol reminded me of those damn bumper boats we use to ride as kids.
We got a laugh out of it, no harm done. I thought he was staying stationary, and he thought I had continued motoring further out.
Got to talk to him at the launch and had a good conversation, and checking out each other’s tubes and motor setups. Just another good day on the water and yet another great fishing story to be able to tell friends about!
Looking into one of these bike helmets with a rear view mirror. Next time, I’ll keep an eye out for Dannicus!
