Typical day at West Medical. Brought a buddy and his kids who've been hounding me to take them fishing. Launched at 7:30. Trolled around fruitlessly for about an hour before settling at my favorite spot where we anchored about 30' from shore. Right on cue at 9:30 the action started. I was using a sliding sinker on a light spinning setup (links below), with Zeke's/Mike's peach and orange. First one I hooked was on the smaller side. Didn't use the net to land it because, well, I'm a stubborn dumb-ass. Lost it at the boat. Lesson learned. I caught the next two over the next 45 minutes or so. I even let one of the kids land the 3rd one. She had a hell of a time getting it in. It did not want to come up from under the boat. Kept the rod bent all the way over the whole time. A good time was had by all. Well, maybe not by the girl's older brother who didn't see any action all day. LOL!

Curious if you kept any fish for the table? Usually this time of year, W.Medical fish smell like grass and taste like a kid's mud pie.

Yeah. I threw them on my smoker for about 3 hours. Tasted fine to me. I'll see if I can add more pics.

I always have my trusty, lucky boonie hat. Never fish without it.
