OH yeah I forgot to share. Thanks Curt. It was another great trip. Except for the boat launching. Water had really dropped. I did take waders thinking I could at least push boat off of the trailer. Ugh no not exactly. Pat backed the boat and trailer down the ramp. We were first to launch pre sunrise but others were in line behind us. I told them go ahead, nope we want you to do it first. Okay boat showed water on the bottom on the trailer. I tried to push it off. Nope would not budge. I told Pat to drive up and back down and hit the brakes. Boat slid back on trailer four inches at a time. After four rounds of that I pushed it off. Pat parked and she got in big eyed how we get back on? I quickly responded no problem but in my mind it's like this is going to suck.
Then we fished. Started out slow but when it happened it was a hoot. We caught a bunch, nice ones. Wind blown bank. So thinking why. Either thinking about spawn or plankton gathering bringing up the shad thus a shad buffet for the whites. These fish were from on the bank out to three or four feet deep. A few caught out deeper but much better response shallow. Grey over yellow and white or chartreuse over white. Strip as fast as you could. Hard strikes and good fight. Pat and I kept 20 whites and two big crappie. Bled them and on ice for trip home. Now to getting the boat on trailer. Pat backed out to the same spot. This time the bunks were actually out of the water. I pulled out the winch to the back of the trailer. Walked boat to the back and clipped it on. Then the winching began. Not too bad at first with wet boat bottom. Then it became the pits. Winch and rest, winch and rest. Finally within six inches of where it should be Pat pulled us up. Gathering everything for trip home and I got it the rest of the way back on trailer. No more launching of this place until a raise. Too darned bad. It's fixing to get awesome.
