Mike (Pops) and I got on the water around 10am. Ran to the red house and fished the shoreline for a ways. Surface temp was 51 down lake. No takers so we ran up lake a ways just before Tum Tum. Water surface jumped to 56. We caught 8 smallies total. All of the fish we hooked up with were hanging around fallen trees and logs. Mikes fish pictured went 2-8, and my big girl went 4-6. The other six were all under 2 pounds. Crawfish imitations (stand n' yabbies) and various crank baits were the weapons used today. All fish were released to be caught again. Oh yeah, Pops takes pictures looking through the digital camera rather than viewing the screen. Hmmm, interesting photography egg timer!!
