 Five Alive ventured far from our usual casting grounds to give
Waywayanda lake a try. We had temperatures in the low 80's with
scattered showers mixed with sun and water temps of 69-73 degrees. The
Lake really is beautiful and it was pretty cool to fish amongst black
black bears that walked the wooded shores. Fishing was tough. We had 15
guys fish and although12 caught fish, many had just 1 and only 1 limit
bwas caught. Third place went to Chris Press. Always a threat anyware
he fishes, Chris tallied 4 bass for 6.98 pounds. I took second place
with 8.71 pounds of bass which included a 4.76 pound sweetie that
engulfed a senko pitched into deep weeds. On his way to breaking the
club record for most 5 fish limits was our first place finisher, Tim
Dafick with 5 bass going 9.42 pounds. I personally loved Waywayanda
because I enjoy the scenery and tranquility of such a beautiful lake
but the long ride and tough fishing may prove too much to have this
lake on next year's schedule. We will see. Five Alive heads back to
Carnegie Lake in 2 weeks after our buddy tournament next Saturday,
August 1 on Mirror Lake. Chris Press has a vice grip on first place and
the Angler of the year title. Can Tim come from behind or will Chris
dominate the remainder of the season for his second Angler of the year
title in 3 years? Good luck and may the best angler win. Tight lines.
