I hope it is okay to piggy back off your report as it is the same day. I always try to keep days together so next year I can do a search and find out what was cooking this time last year. (that was a confusing time statement) That is why Iusually name my reports by the date too.

We didn't get started until late so we put in at Aunt's Creek and motored up. I figured Cape Fair would be crowded at the ramp.

The lake was crowded, but the cool thing (I thought) was they were all fishing boats. I ended up gong almost to point 13 before I could find a place to fish. Every transition bank, point, cove had a boat in it. I looked in a few hollows and coves I like to fish and there wasn't much room for another boat.

We ended up at Piney Creek before we caught the first short. There was no wind at the time and the Mrs caught it on a grub. As soon as we let it loose....a white Cobra with a Force motor pulled in about a cast and a half away. A Tracker pulled in on the other side between us and a boat that had been fishing the other side of the point, The guy in the Cobra asked how we were doing and I told him fine until we were crowded by his boat! Another shocking thing is they were from Missouri (based on the boat sticker). Usually Ozark people are fairly courteous.

The wind did start blowing for us and I tried the spinner with no luck. We caught five fish total in about 4 hours. One might have been fifteen inches, but the rest were twelve or even less. My boat said water temps were 61-63. The little fish we did catch were in 12 feet of water.

As we headed back, we saw a black and gold Ranger sitting in the middle of the lake. I stopped to make sure they were alright. They were working their way up from KC to Cape Fair area. He is a new member here and I think he said his name was Henry or something similar. He saw my orange sticker, but hadn't gotten his yet. I didn't see any orange dots today, but did have a more wavers than usual.

Awesome weather for boating. I wish we would have more time, but the dog is somewhere in the back yard and we can't find her because the grass is too tall!

I hope you guys did better than us.

I went into Piney for about 5 mins and was gone, my boy came home for the wkend and we were hoping to catch alot of fish, but there was a rig everywhere. Tournament out of Cape Fair, one out of 13 and the big Aunts crk buddy is this wkend. We did catch alot of fish, fish doc, c rig and jig all about 5 to 10 deep on the pts. We could not get any size best was about 3.5 most just little buck bass seen no beds but they are there, we need some bad weather to get all the nice weather fisherman of the lake. Did anyone notice all the hugh shad most up to a ft long dead in the upper James? most were bigger than the bass we were cathcing. Good luck watch for boats
