B&B Derby

[Bobber]

Another tough weekend of fishing for us. Got to Myers fri evening and started setting up the camper. Barely have it unhooked from the truck, and Kade is already at Scott's camper talking smack to him and Rollie   His head apparently still swollen from last year's derby. Of course now it's up to Dad to back him up and put him on some fish. With the weather forecast calling for pretty stiff north wind we decided we would run to the north end at first light before it got rough and troll south back to Myers...has to be a big fish somewhere in between. We were greeted by rain and whitecaps at 6:00am   Took a ROUGH ride up to Dean's Cove and set up headed south. Well....there were a heck of a lot of little fish between there and Myers, lost count well into the 20's. Couldn't find any big guys. Picked up around 6:30, Kade starting to sweat a little. I told him not to worry, we'd get 'em sunday...weather says warmer with south wind 4mph. 6:00am sunday morning...CCCCOOLLLLDDD....and wind blowin' about 15 out of the south. Went straight across and set up headed north. Picked away at the little guys...found a 4# laker just south of T-Falls...turned around to troll back thru...washed the carpet in the boat several times...turned again and continued north past scout camp picking little guys the whole way. Well...let's try the south end...picked up and ran south of the salt plant and set up on east side headed north. Picked away at more little guys...another 4#er in front of salt plant...found the orange buoy with outside dipsy   discovered that 45# braid can almost out do my 8hp kicker...continued past Myers...turned around to see if I could grab buoy with outside dipsy off other side...no luck...went south for a while...picked away at more little guys...got in a hurry resetting outside dipsy pulling FF and got it wrapped up with inside dipsy pulling a grease trap   :doh:    what a mess. Called it a day after that. Kade was on the board for a little while which made him feel better. He's already talking about strategy for next year   Congrats to all who won, and thanks to Barney and Bear for puttin' this together. Also want to thank everyone for being so good to Kade, it's nice to see him feel like he "fits in" somewhere in this world. Oh...almost forgot...Scott and Rollie, this is from Kade

     Kyle,

 You told Kade about that smack talk.    It's good to see someone that young with that much competitive spirit.  Tell him to keep it up, there's a big one out there with his name on it. We're rootin for him.
