When I called Tom Verschueren and asked him if he wanted to try fishing for smallmouth bass at Crescent Bar he said he was eager to go. I told him that part of the deal was that he would be participating in the Crescent Bar Boat Parade while we were there, and he liked that, too. Maybe the promise of free pizza had something to do with that. We launched across from the marina and started trolling crank baits in the channel. I landed a really nice smallmouth while we were still in the shallow water, just past the swimming area. Tom got one, just about the same size when we were further down the channel. I expected the fishing to be better by now. When I checked the water temperature it was just 51 degrees. That explained it. We will be going back when the water warms up a bit. We joined the parade that passed under the bridge at the marina and saw that there was a crowd from one end to the other. The boats had been decorated and the passengers in full costume. Tom said that he could see this event becoming very popular and grow every year.
