Oops, forgot to date my other Banks report as July 9.

OK, on to today. If you read my other report, I was going on a little over 3 hours sleep, a 5 hour drive and 10 hours of fishing. Finally got to bed around 11:00 last night and woke up to the birds singing at 4:36 a.m. this morning.

Packed up and me and my kid took off for Northup Canyon launch or whatever it is called.

Got the boat in at around 5:45 and just fished around the bay near the launch. After yesterdays debacle, any fish today would have been welcomed. On advice of a fishaholic, who has fished here before, decided to go with topwater for LMB and top water only.

Using a Seville perch colored popper, I hit two fish in the first 1/2 hour. Both just right at 2 pounds. 45 minutes later I got another around 2.5 pounds. Fished for another hour and then took off.

So, from a skunk (for all intents and purposes) to three fish in 2 hours was pretty cool, so, not a great day but giving it a three rating based on that premise.

Loaded up and drove home. Unloaded and cleaned everything up. All is in order. 4:40p.m. Sunday afternoon and still going on only 8 or 8 1/2 hours sleep since Thursday night.

Planning my next trip already as I have a lot to learn, lol, I thought it would be easy to catch fish in this lake:)

Sorry about blurry pictures.
