 Took my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend. Put in at 6:15. Fished until 1:45.  Had a great day.  Water temp was 68 degrees cloudy with light wind. Caught 71 total with 26 keepers. 

 

Whopper plopper,spook and yellow magic worked great until 9:45. Then smoke grub,Ned rig and 3.8 Kietech swimbait. Caught fish on every place we tried.  Top water was in deeper water in front of docks. Most of the others main lake and some secondary points 10 to 15 feet deep. Although got a few in the back of a cove. 

Caught a few on square Bill crankbait  

Thanks so much tfor nthose that post it made all the difference today.  Mostly caught Kentucky but got 3 smallmouth and two mean mouth. 

This was a day we won't forget.

Bird or turtle, at a guess.

I'm thinking lovers quarrel.

Nice report. Love the picture of father and daughter.  

Still looking for the picture of father and boyfriend...?? Just kidding. 

Glad to hear you all had a great time out on the lake.

I'd say boyfriend must be a pretty OK dude. I mean, a guy doesn't let just anyone set foot in his Ranger boat.

I would love it if my daughter dates a guy with a Ranger boat, when she's 21. ?

Boyfriend is a good kid. Loves to fish.

 But getting to share the day with her was priceless.  Getting those types of special  days together are not as easy as they get older.
