MY DAUGHTER AND I ARRIVED ABOUT 6:30 AM
IT WAS CLOUDY MY WATCH SAID IT WAS 41 DEG OUTSIDE
WE WENT TO THE OFFICE, AND SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE OWNERS
HER NAME IS LAURA SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWS THE LAKE VERY WELL. IT COST $3.00 FOR KIDS $4.00 FOR ADULTS THAT'S NOT BAD, THE DOCK IS CLEAN AND DRY AND YIELDS GOOD FISH WITH NO WEEDS.
FISH THE TOP W/A BOBBER AND SMALL HOOKS, I USED A FIVE TO SIX FOOT DEPTH WITH A #10 EGG HOOK FIRST ABOUT 1-1/2 FEET DOWN FROM THE SURFACE AND A #8 ON THE END OF THE LINE. I USED CHARTREUSE POWER BAIT ON TOP AND SMALL WORMS ON BOTTOM I GOT MY FIRST HIT ALMOST AS IT HIT THE WATER BAM! THEY ARE ALIVE AND KICKING!!!
THE FIRST FISH WAS ONLY ABOUT 12 TO 13 INCH BUT HEALTHY AND ACTIVE HE PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT AND CAME IN UNBRUISED. AFTER LOOKING HIM OVER WE THREW HIM BACK NOT QUITE DONE YET...THAT'S WHAT I TELL MY DAUGHTER AND TRY TO TEACH HER WHILE WE ARE COOKING BIG FISH AND REMIND HER WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO CATCH BIG FISH. IT WAS NOT VERY HARD TO SEE THAT THE FISHING WAS GONNA GO REAL FAST AFTER MY DAUGHTER CAUGHT A 14 INCH BOW. I DECIDED TO FISH ON THE BOTTOM AFTER TALKING TO THIS GUY WHO HAS BEEN HERE A LOT HE SAID ON TOP IS GOOD FOR THE KIDS THE BOTTOM HOLDS THE BIGGER FISH. LIMITING OUT TOO EARLY DOES NOT SQUASH MY FISHING BUGS AT ALL, THAT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS NOT FISHING AT ALL.
ON BOTTOM I USED ONE #8 EGG HOOK ON A 3 FOOT LEADER 3LB. FOR THE WIND I USED 1/3OZ,OFLEAD MARSHMALLOWS w/GARLIC SCENT, YELLOW WENT WAY OUT GOT SOME GOOD BITES AND RE BAITED AND GOT ABOUT A 2LB. FISH AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS NOT A BAD DAY NICE LAKE AND NICE PEOPLE SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE FISHING HOLE NEXT TIME IM TAKING A BOAT I SAW SOME PRIME SPOTS I'LL BE BACK STILL THEY SAY SOMEONE GOT A 6 POUND BROODER JUST UNDER THE DOCK ALREADY THIS SPRING SOUNDS GOOD I'LL BE BACK PEACE.
