Tucker To Kdock

[Bill Babler]

Hit the water, and the water didn't hit me back like it does here at the house. It's 5;30 and I can count over 40 boats rockin and a rollin here on the rock. That includes water fleas, and several big ole biggins, making huge waves.

Started at Tucker at 5:30 yesterday evening going to look for whites. It takes me 25 minutes to get there from our place. 3 rigs in the parking lot. Did not see a boat till I also got to Kdock.

One little pod of schoolers just below Kdock that stayed up all of 1 minute and that was all I saw. Didn't let me get close and sounded and would not bite.

Fished my way back hitting long point runouts, just really waiting and looking for whites. Several guys trolling and a couple of pontooners, but nary a jet ski, or anyone towing anything. Let along any 40 ft. Carvers, or Sea Rays.

Threw a flutter spoon, almost consistantly and suprising, had 6 nice keeper K's.

Stayed out to dark, working my way back to Tucker, and then even went below away just past State Line Cove and around Horseshoe bend. Had a couple of points I caught good fish on a week or so ago, but if you can believe it, they had boats on them.

Saw 2 Eagles, 1 mink and 3 racoons, along with several deer and an ospry. Guess I should have been watching the water a mite closer and maybe I would have seen some whites.

Nice 4 hours of solitude.
