I DECIDED, RATHER THAN STAY IN THE HOUSE AND STAY COOL AND COMFORTABLE, I WOULD TAKE THE TUBE AND GO OVER THE BRIDGE AND SIT IN THE COOL WATER TO RELAX...AND WET A LINE. I ARRIVED AROUND 0900 AND INSTEAD OF GOING TO MY HONEY HOLE, I DECIDED TO HUG A DIFFERENT SHORE LINE TO START OFF WITH. I'M HAPPY I DID! I WAS TRYING FOR PERCH AND I FOUND SOME IN THE 10" ONE WAS 11". THEY HAVE REALLY IMPROVED IN SIZE FROM A YEAR AGO AND IT'S PROMISING FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS PAN FISH. I DID NOT, HOWEVER ENTICE ANY BLUE GILL OR CRAPPIE. SO AFTER 9 HOURS OF FLOATING AND BURNING, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO HEAD HOME. YES I SPENT 9 HOURS ON THE LAKE AND I DID NOT GO HOME WITH A PAN FISH LIMIT...BUT HEY WAHT CAN I SAY, IT WAS TIME WELL SPENT! P.S. THANKS TO MR. MIDWEST FOR SOME NEW LAKE IDEAS!
