Memorial Day

[WHARFRAT]

Went out early yesterday, went to lake 35. It was tough for us jig fishermen. Caught on little dink verticle jigging about 12' down, And caught about a 10" fish casting in bout 6' of water. Caught about a half dozen little bass.

Did see some minnow fishermen catching a few crappie, but they seemed pretty small. By 10 am, the lake was getting pretty crowded. I called it a day by then. Oh well, luckily I've got enough in the freezer.

Made it to 35 today, on water by 7am. Was "bass" fishing with steel leaders; pulled out one 13" bass on a gold/black crankbait near the dam. Wind and vegetation made fishing difficult.

This was my first trip out to Busch, and all I can say is that I had no idea how big the place was. Fishing left something to be desired, but at least it wasn't a skunk.
