10/9, 10/10 overnight fishing trip

[Brad N Steph]

I decided to go out and get in a end of the year camping and fishing trip on Friday night and Saturday.  I couldn’t talk the wife and kids into going so I spend the daylight hours in the kayak and ran the lights into the dark.  I ended up with several bass,  1 largemouth came off the banks at 16”.  I also caught a 15 1/2 walleye trolling while I was working on getting back to camp for lunch.  I lost several fish doing that also.  Saturday evening I ended up in the middle of a feeding frenzy and the fish were nearly jumping in the boat so I took home a couple white bass also.  Great weather.  Got to take some time and enjoy the scenery.  I was around ruark bluff and most of the fish came on the flicker shad.  I was also using curly tails in different colors but could not find the crappie.  Wife and kids enjoyed the feast.  Tight lines and don’t forget to stop and take a minute to enjoy the views
