Aug 17 2008-The Missing Hat

I had a couple of hours to kill this morning before heading back home to begin stripping my deck down to bare wood so I can get a couple of coats of stain on it. For the first time this summer the weatherman is telling us that we will have a few days of no rain.
Back to fishing. First fish is a 15 1/2 inch Smallmouth Bass weighing 2 lb 1oz. Second fish ( and last fish ) is a huge 13 inch Bass.
But, the real story of the day is the discovery of Udo's lost hat. Yesterday we saw an object in the water that looked like a piece of a pool noodle. Shortly after that Udo noticed his hat disappeared. It was windy and we assumed the pool noodle must have been his hat that somehow blown off the boat. This story however has a happy ending. His hat was hiding underneath the seat and has been returned to its owner.
