Friday night into the weekend

Well the wife's birthday was this past weekend. So we desiced we were going to go do some camping at mill creek. We got down there at the site around 1230 or so set everything up and was camping.

My dad's friday night tounry partner had plans. so i was the fill in. So we hit the water at cape fair around 1800. The lake was full of full sized trees and had to change our game plan since we didnt want to be trying to get bacm after dark with the floaters.

Hit our first spot and had 5 keepers before dark. Depth was 5 to 20 ft. Figured we had around 10 pounds.

Fished closer to Cape and culed a couple of times. (Not much). Weighted in a limit for 11.28. .2 oz out of the money.

But like always had a great time fishing with my ol man and made some great memories. He caught one at 3.30lb that just topped the trip. Really figured we had a chance since fishing has been so hard. But it took 14 lbs to win. We did what we could and had nothing to hang our heads on.

So got up early Sat morning (around 6ish) ran out of mill creek just looking since I haven't fished that area in so long. Really didn't have much to go on. Hitting main lake points and bluff ends. Finding fish along the way. Left the water around 10sh (boat traffic was awful) finished with 12 fish and 5 keepers lucky if they would of went 10lbs.

Went back out sat around 6ish with my son trying to put together more pieces to the puzzle. That sure didn't work out for me. We fished more secondary stuff with little luck. Was off the water by 845 and my son had 2 shorts and I had 3 and no keepers. Loaded the boat up and put the kids asleep. After that me and my wife sit around the camp fire holding hands and talking about how lucky we are.

Got up Sunday made my beautiful wife a great breakfast and we went swimming for a couple hours then loaded up and went home.

Over all had a great trip and got to enjoy this wonderful lake we are all truly blessed to fish.

Remember thank a man or women in uniform and please C&R. SO my kids and his kids can enjoy what we get too.
