We put in at Aunts Creek as usual.  Visited with a couple on the ramp and they had thrown top water and caught nothing.  Saw a boat in our usual first stop.  They too were throwing top water and said had some bump it but no catch.

We went out to main lake points and caught 17 (we think) Ks all around 15” on a green square bill.  We have a bunch of pictures but they all pretty much the same.  The gar were cutting the Mrs line so we moved around a lot.  Usually when we see gar, we just move on but were catching the Ks in the same location this time

About 130, we were in Jackson Hollow and caught nothing.  A pile of boats showed up with big blue roll out mats.  We decided to move along so they could jam to whatever heavy metal they were listening to.

Had a dickens of a time getting into the main lake with all of the boat traffic.  We decided to try to head back to Aunt’s.  Tried to pass a huge boat on the left but they moved left driving us into the bank.  I slowed down and bounced over their waves and tried to pass on the right.  They crowded us off toward some buoys.  Finally, got past them and to the ramp.

The ramp at this location is pretty large and normally four boats can put in at a time.  Not today.  Some big deck boat thingy was having a challenging time getting his trailer to back up.  finally he did, and as he pulled up into the parking area, I heard a loud crash.  I think he cut the corner to close and hit someone else’s trailer with his.  I saw a young couple writing down license plates after he stomped on down to get on his boat without leaving a note.

Wish BS was closer and I knew where to put in.  I think we are done with Table Rock on the weekends until September.  Probably sneak out on Thursdays some.

Sorry for all the whine as it was mostly a great day with my mrs in the Ozarks.

Can’t believe it took you 20 years to learn that lesson 🤪

sounds like a great day anywho.  Got to go when you can however.

i hear you about boat traffic and other dummies.  bs is a great place to get away from a lot of hoopla, but right now, it would be very challenging to find a place to launch and park.

Techno - thanks for the report even though you were fighting the traffic it sounds like you figured them out - I have not had much trouble with gar but then again my catch rate on bass is at it's normal level....poor. 

I can tell you that no matter the lake(s) I have been to there are some very selfish folks out....or maybe just not aware?? And the day of the week doesn't matter...

I have to remember to use the term "had a dickens of a time" next time I get frustrated!! 😉
