Opening Day Sunrise

Opening Day of Bass Season

Kim and I had gone to the lake two days before the third Saturday in June. We approached the outlet of Canandaigua Lake that Thursday evening without any fishing gear. As we stared into the water, we saw several twelve to fourteen inch large mouth bass. After counting about eight keepers we agreed that Saturday morning we would come back to the outlet at sunrise, before anyone else and rid the lake of these vermin.

So at 4:30 we got up, loaded our gear and bass minnows,
and drove to lake for a morning of great fun.
We arrived right at sunrise and took these pictures.
But the bass we no where to be found. We fished for a while and decided to move to another outlet where I had caught bass in past years. We had a little more success. and Kim was catching most of the fish. including small mouth bass, rock bass and sunfish.

We never did spot a largemouth, but getting out early in the morning was enjoyable.

We saw some turtles and three families of geese. Our day together fishing for bass was very relaxing.
