(this is why we call it...) Cow Beach

 A chilly mornin on Mountain Island Lake.  We saw Beavers up close,  deer on the island, and moo cows at Cow Beach.  The fishermen also caught some really nice bass throwing jigs.  All fish, as usual, were released.  Air 40F at sunrise to about 60F at lunchtime, water temp 65F.

October Fishing at Mountain Island Lake

Another beautiful sunrise behind the PFD.  A Spotted Bass caught with a Channel Cat at same time on two rods by one person.  And a Spotted Bass with nice markings.  October lake fishing, with water at 72F and air ranging from 64F to 80F, still water, light wind, no current, and a tough morning bite.
