Coldwater Fishin'

August 8th-

FINALLY made it up to the Schiffer's "Straight up and Scatter" lake house on Coldwater Lake in Michigan. Had an amazing time with the family and got in some quality fishing. The weather pattern had been a little screwed up and the fishing was a bit slow. Nate, Brian and I took out Uncle George's boat to roll some crankbaits, which only further made me itch for my own boat. I had a brand new shallow crankbait i just bought that day and on the second cast i tossed it into the back of someones pontoon boat and had to cut the line off. in my defense, it was windy as hell.
Nate quickly hooked up with a nice Pike! Check this slimey bastard out













It was a little slow back in the channels, so we found this sweet drop off out on the main part of the lake. we trolled up and down casting out crankbaits. Nate hooked into this sweet largemouth






nice lip heat








After an hour or so i hadn't caught anything and said "super put me on a @$&^% fish!" next cast i caught a pike. it was a small guy, and the damn thing was so slimy i had trouble holding on to him. the picture turned out like crap, but it was my first pike i've ever landed. thanks super. Did i mention at this point brian was skunked and nate had a monster smalley throw the hook?
Anyway, we went back to the crib and caught bluegill for some cutbait catfishin later that night.






that snoopy pole is the biggest pole nate's ever handled


Even Super Junior Jacob caught a gang of fish. guess that wifebeater tanline is how they roll in delaware county





Went back out later that night with George and Brian and B finally caught a pike, but Uncle George and I got skunked. Had an awesome time and i can't wait to get back up there and roll some bass and pike
