One week after catching what seemed like every fish being better than the first on Lake St. Clair, it was a battle for anything legal Friday night in the second session of the Badwater Bass Club tournament on Woodland Lake in Brighton. There were no excuses on the weather as blues skies were around us with a southerly breeze. After it was all said and done, the guy who put the "pella" into "A Cappella", Greg V., showed the others what it took to catch fish while surrounded by jet skies with a total take of a little over eight pounds. Spurge managed to take big fish for the outing with a nice pike just a bit over four pounds. As mentioned, the jet skies and power boats that had no reason to be on such a narrow lake made for an interesting evening. While a productive fishing lake overall, the commissioners might consider making Woodland a Saturday or Sunday morning fish next year as our fishing boats appeared invisible to the screaming youngsters on the tubes/jet skies and the speed boat anchored right in front of our honey hole made the task a bit tougher. Overall, no complaints though as we were fishing!
Spurge also gets extra points for a fine post fish spread at the "Thirsty Spurgess" man cave within his mansion off of Old 23. Good coney dogs!Trail Head
