Day 259
The weather here has been warm and dry. The lakes and rivers are down. And the recent heat wave of high 80's to 90 are causing the waters to get lower and the vegetation is getting plenty of sunlight and "growing like a weed" if you'll pardon the pun.
The fine weather and low gas prices has brought many people to the Houghton Lake area. The DNR boat launches are full each weekend and the lake is covered with jet ski's and pleasure boats pulling water skiers and tubers.
It doesn't seem to be affecting the fishing but it can be annoying when pleasure boats come zipping around your boat as if you are a water marker on a race course. Making your boat rock as if on high seas.
When I go fishing I like to relax, not hanging on to keep from being pitched overboard. Ah well, just a few more weeks and Bud Bash will be over. Bud Bash marks the down slide of the summer tourists. Travelers tend to stay home in August to get their children ready for back to school.
I haven't been fishing much this year for different reasons. But there's plenty of season left.
Until tomorrow,
Ken
