Fishing Trip April 5-9

[Bob Koogler]

Lots of water! All four generators ran the entire day while we were there. On Monday April 6th I fished with Brett Rader who owns Chartered Waters. We went to Roark Creek (mile marker 13 by the Branson Landing area) and went all the back by the condo's that are there. We never left. The fishing was awesome and I caught at least 40-50 fish in 3 1/2 hours using an olive colored jig under a strike indicator. Size ranged from about 10 inches to one 20 incher. Good fight too! Seriously, I stopped fishing for a few minutes to light my fishing trip cigar! What fun.

One of my sons joined me on Tuesday and we fished off the dock. We used drift rigs and caught quite a few and caught several on the drop. Wednesday we went back to Roark Creek, but my wife had a car accident and we had to stop after only 10 minutes of fishing. Kind of a scary moment. Do worry, she'll be fine and no, she's never going on a fishing trip with us again! (just kidding)

Naturally, we stayed at Lilley's. In my opinion, Lilley's is the best place to stay on Lake Taneycomo.

Did I mention there was lots of water?

Back again soon, hopefully before the annual family vacation in June.

Had no idea you guys had an accident. Sorry about that!

Glad you had a good time otherwise.
