SECOND TIME CAMPING AT NEWMAN. WE HIT THE CAMPGROUND AT 11:00 ON SAT. WE UNLOADED THE BOAT AND CAMPING GEAR. AS I WAITED FOR MY STEP DAD I FISHED AROUND THE DOCK WE WERE BY AND CAUGHT PAN SIZED BLUEGILL KEPT A COUPLE ALSO CAUGHT THREE LEGAL BASS KEPT ONE THAT SWALLOWED MY CRAPPIE JIG AND WE FINALLY WENT OUT ON THE BOAT USING CRAPPIE JIGS WE WENT TO THE PADS AND DROPPED IN THEM, I HAD ONE NICE CRAPPIE ON AND WRAPPED AROUND A PAD AND BROKE OFF WE CAUGHT LITERALLY 20 BLUEGILL ALL OF WHICH WERE KEEPERS ONLY KEPT A FEW THOUGH CAUGHT NUMEROUS DINK BASS AND ABOUT THIRTY PERCH KEPT 10 BIG ONES BIGGEST 11 INCHES. I CLEANED ONE IN THE BOAT AND THREW A TINY PEICE ON AND STATRED NAILING BIG BASS ON THE CRAPPIE JIG ALL REALEASED. THEN FINALLY GOT A LEGAL CRAPPIE IN THE BOAT THE ONLY CRAPPIE THE WHOLE TRIP! I ALSO HOOKED UP TO ABOUT A TEN LB CARP ON MY ULTRA LITE WITH 4 LB TEST BROKE OFF AFTER 5 MINS OF FIGHTING IT. CAUGHT 5 BULLHEADS ON CRAPPIE JIG AND WORM ON A BOBBER. SAW SOME BASS BEDS BUT NOT ALOT OF FISH ON THEM JUST SAW TWO ONE ABOUT 5 LBS AND THE OTHER AROUND 3LBS. SO OVERALL IT WAS A GOOD TRIP WE WILL FOR SURE BE BACK IN A COUPLE WEEKENDS
