Really Interesting Day On The Lake For Me!

Really interesting day on the Lake for me!

Didn't go out until 9:00 AM, and quickly realized that the trolling motor was going to get a workout!

That wind was howlin !

Hit a couple spots on the main lake and decided that if I was fishin for fun, I wasn't gonna have any, bouncin like a bobber with spray coming over the bow!

Headed for a sheltered spot along Plaster's bluff, and hit a bonanza of smallies!

Caught 20 or more on Eakin's, FB jig and rig from one little cut. Only 4 were keeps, but they were all sassy and fat!

Sitting there in the relatively calm water, catchin fish, with the turkeys chattering in the background, it was as nice a time as I've had on the Lake in a while!

Decided to head down the bluff, and almost ran into a deer swimming aimlessly in the middle of the Lake. With all of the boats buzzing across Point 7, I decided to give the young buck a hand, so I ran alongside him and steered him over to shore. He was so tired, he could barely get himself up on shore.

I decided to drop a line right where I stopped, in 40'. Got to the bottom, gave the drop shot worm a jiggle and tap, tap. Figured it was a good K, but after I got him up, it turned out to be a 4.2 LM.

Some folks from Colorado were puttin along in a pontoon and they decided to watch me while I was fighting this fish. After I got him in, I raised him up to show them and they all clapped and cheered!

They came over and we chatted a bit. Nice folks!

By 1 Pm, the rain was annoying, so I headed back to the dock.

Can't remember a more enjoyable 4 hours on the water?
