Great start to our trip. Ken and I had 15 fish with a 6.8 pounder and 5 over 5 pounds. 

Ken lost a total Monster he could do nothing with. We’re thinking 8 plus ,  

Read a lot of reports of dangerous water, but if your careful, so far not a problem. 

Best 5 today at 27 plus pounds with a 6,8 pounder and another 4 at 5 or better. 

Local small derby today and the winner had only 4 fish but they weighed 28 pounds. What a frigging bag. 

Reminded me of the day Charlie Campbell weighed in 4 jaws in a Table Rock derby that weighed 20 pounds and change. 

Beautiful weather however it did get to 93 but had a breeze. 

Don’t expect to catch 25 fish a day here but the quality is fantastic.   Once hooked they will try to destroy your junk. 

Best baits sinko  and a Magdraft.  

Had good eats and a cold barley pop at days end.

Stick some of those fish in your live well Bill and bring them back, we need a size boost in TR.  😄

Had one of the best days ever. 25 fish with the best 5 at 29 pounds and change between my buddy and I.

My best today was a 5.8 which was barely included in the 5 fish limit. 

Ken had a 7.2, 6.10, 5.10, 4.10 and a 4.02.  All on a 6” GP Red Flex Senko. 

I had 7 total all on a C-Rig. Windy as heck. No one on the water to speak of, maybe saw 8-10 boats. 

I had the day of my life netting all his big fish, he just had one of those days he could do nothing wrong. 

Could not have happened to a nicer guy. Becky and his wife are Besties and they are great neighbors.

Finished up yesterday at 1:30. Probably our slowest morning 11 fish and everyone of them was a 2.5 cookie cutter. 
No big gals but a fun morning, with everything on a 5” senko  GP red flex. 
If anyone wants any info just ask, fun trip.
