Lost a bunch of them between the hook up and the boat - and couldn't snag a bunch of nibblers either, just not my day.
Color was green, blade was a 1 1/2" smile with beads and a slow death hook tipped with half a worm - hits were not
very hard though. Area fished was Hawk creek - 1/2 doz other boats doing much the same thing - 2 or 3 seemed to be
the order of the day for keepers. Size was 15-16", not real fat, but good meat none the less. Oh yea, almost forgot - the
orange kekeda had the most hits. Interesting part of the day was watching the depth sounder - hanging around in 75-85 FOW
on the bottom appeared to be bunched up whitefish and suspended in the 35-50' range were some pretty good sized
ones - koke's maybe ?? I put on 3 and 4 oz banana sinkers and got down there, but had no takers - gave up after a couple
of hours. Beautiful day too - no smoke and not real hot.

Thanks for your report and sorry to hear catching wasn't great. Happens that way sometimes. ;-)

Really was a beautiful day though - after two months I was getting cabin fever - gardens are only so much fun - may spend a couple weeks
at one of the RV parks next month and get serious about fishing the big lake - thanks for the sympathy, persistence is omnipotent, see ya
there next month.

Thanks for reporting, stirs on me that I am due. Sounds like the fishing was great but the catching not so much. Been there, done that. Getting my boat and TT down to Keller for a little camping/fishing is moving up on my to do list.

yup, getting to be that time of year, need a couple of extras in the freezer before Holidays and that white stuff. Banks
next week and then the big lake after that - not sure whether Keller or Lincoln yet - TBD. (not in luv with the road
down the hill - swear the front truck bumper and the rear TT bumper have touched more than once - wife needs
a pill before we make that run - no LOL.)
