Saturday Report

[Doug Weston]

Went out for 3 hours today. Took my cousin from KC, KA out. Babler you may remember him from last summer. He is a good kid, but a little disabled. I only say this because I have been reading the posts here from babs where he describes how to fish a fin. I rigged a spincast reel with 10# big game. Its one of those zebco reels that are like 50 bucks but the spool oscillates like a spinning reel so you don't have all the normal problems a spincast dishes out. Tied on a fin and gave him a little class on how to fish it. He caught 4 spots on it by himself! I'm really proud to have been able to get him on some fish. Thanks to all that have chimed in about the fin lately. I see why it is a choice guide bait. Kyle was able to watch and see what he was doing and I think that helped him learn how to fish it.

I threw a spook and nabbed 3 keeper spots with it. I don't really want to say where till after tomorrow, but I hope this little pattern will hold up through tomorrow. I will say though that I was in the eagle rock area and the current was going backwards! The normal patterns seems to be working still but I couldn't find keeper size on the flat gravel places I fished.

Our small club will fish out of the shell knob bridge tomorrow and I will try to give a better report then.

Glad to hear he had a good time, and thanks for the report. Too many days on this lake are tough for the kids.

Heck, too many days are tuff on this lake for those of us who are not kids... Glad he had a good time!
