Koi Challange

[taxidermist]

Hey guys heres a challange for ya, about 100 yards on the left past the dock in Roark is a Koi near a brush pile, small brush pile but the fish is there its easy to see, its an exotic see if ya can catch it!!

It turned own worms, power bait and everything else we laid in front of it, looks to be about 14 inches long mostly white has some orange on it witha couple black spots.

We had a heck of a day catching small bass in Roark.

Did you find the crappie?

[taxidermist]

NO there was a pontoon parked on the crappie and keeping everything!!! Ya/ll know I like to fry fish but man they were keeping 6 inch fish. We headed on down the lake to the dam and when we came back they were still there. Fromt he looks of them I fiugre many went into Kimchi.

At the main lake dock just before Roark there were some people fishing catching the crap out of fish, four in just a few minutes they were gone when we cam back uplake.

It was a last minute deal. we met family at Cof O for breakfast and figured since we were there to take the Bass boat out and burn last years gas up. We added some fresh gas. Put in by Scotty's after getting Lamar to renew the license and crusied up to the dam, busted some bow and lost a nice brwon at the boat caught it inthe edge of thegrass down from Point Royal. We made several runs to the dam and then decided to go down to Roark. then aftter fishing there and catching some bass, caught more bows around the point we decide to cruise down to the Powersite we did not do so well down lake.

I did lok for the oldest boat and motor onthe lake, did see a bered fellow in a Richline and an old Johnson heading in about 4 or 5 pm to Rockaway.

We still have about 3/8th tank of gas left so thats not bad for a 90HP 2 stroke on MPG and most of the gas being old.

Wife and I had never been down lake on Taneycomo.

Lots of white EPS foam blocks floating around! Had it been the orange or blue I would have found a use for it and cleaned the stuff up. I was really suprised at the number of steel barrels too.

Thats all I fish is the Lower. It can get a bit frustrating to most. Thats why most people only fish it a few times and decide to stay above Roark. Not that I am complaining.
