Wolf Lake

I arrived at Wolf Lake this morning at 6:15 but the radar had a small cluster of showers coming straight for the landing. I prepared the boat and got out the garbage bag to put my tackle bag in to keep it dry. After doodling around killing time, I looked at the radar again and saw the rain drying up so I set sail. The spot where the water runs out of the lake is close by the landing. Mickey and I caught some there last year so that was the first stop. There was no visible action . I was able to get some nips on a swim jig and a Booyah but no fish caught. Next was a dependable place where the bank is washed out that has some limbs down deeper. Nothing there either. Fish have been caught over sand where people have put it down so they can have a beach. The bass will congregate on those spots to feed. I stopped at one that had a boathouse bonus. Got a hard lick on a DT-6 by the boathouse but no hint of a hook up. A shaky head got a nibble too but no fish. Next I went across the lake to a shallow point that is really hard to see. It is one of the first places I caught fish the first time I fished in Wolf Lake. I caught 8 there on the shaky head. You really had to shake the worm to get a bite. Once they bit they held on pretty well. When that ran out I left for other places where fish have been caught but there was only one fish here and there. The good deed for the day was when I saw a snowy egret all splayed out and thought it was dead. As I looked, it moved and I went closer to see what the problem was. A piece of fishing line that someone got tangled in a tree had wrapped around a couple of feathers or maybe the birds wing and the bird was in the water and could not move. I cut the line and moved off so as not to scare the bird but it remained in the water standing in a submerged bush. I was thinking there might be another piece of line and maybe a hook. My presence again was enough to make it swim to the bank and it walked off. With that, I headed to the spot where I caught the fish but only got two pickups that did not hold on. That did it. Back to the ramp . Total of 12 fish. Wolf Lake has been scratched off of my list for a couple of years.
