duckydoty Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Got on the water at 6 this morning and it was a little chilly out there. Put in at Bridgeport and boated to the first MDC brush pile down lake on the left. When I got there, all my fingers felt like they had been mashed by a hammer hurting so bad from the cold. I managed to catch 3 shorts at the brush pile on 1/16th oz jig heads with pearl Bobby Garland sassy shads before the sun came up. Started fishing the banks in that little cove next to the brush pile and caught 4 more shorts in the shallow water. It finally warmed up enough that my fingers quit hurting so I headed down to Bear Den. Kind of worked the bank on the way down the cove on the right side but concentrated on submerged logs in 6 to 10 feet of water and really started picking up the keepers. Finished with a limit by 11 and got a phone call that my daughter, son-in-law and grand daughter were heading down wanting to go on their very 1st ever mushroom hunt. I had the perfect spot in mind for them. I headed back to the launch, trailered the boat and got home 20 minutes before they arrived. Put a bag of ice in the live well when they got to my house and the 4 of us headed to the woods down the street. We spent about 3 hours looking and ended up with over 130 morels. The kids stayed for a dinner prepared by DD'sMC that consisted of deer burgers and tenders smothered in sautéed morel mushrooms, and some steamed veggies. What a fantastic day!
