Christine Lee works at Bob Feil Boats and Motors, and when her mother Brenda visits from Alberta, Canada, I take them fishing. They have fished with me on the Smoker Craft Phantom on Lake Wenatchee for sockeye, Lake Chelan for kokanee, and now Banks Lake for smallmouth bass. I always like to take people that want to catch a bass to Banks, as it is loaded with eager fish, and it is a very scenic place. Christine took the bow position and Brenda joined me in the stern. I actually ran the Minn Kota all day from the back of the boat and am getting pretty good at steering without seeing where the head of the motor is pointing. They loved seeing fish on the Garmin fish finder. We fished the west shore above Rosebush and found plenty of smallmouth. We cast our baits close to shore, or over large submerge rocks. They were hitting Baby Brush Hogs, Lizards and grubs. We released a bunch of small ones, and they kept some of the larger fish to take home to cook. Once again, I had a blast fishing with these two, and I look forward to our next adventure.
