after working in all the flower gardens this morning and using 48 bags of red mulch my wife asked if i was going fishing-wel duhh!!, was loaded in 5 minutes and got to the lake in 20 minutes, surprised not many cars at the launch, water temp was 69 at the ramp and 6 7 at the north west corner of the lake .
found some males guarding the nest and also some gills doing the same thing, I had a red red eye shad that i found out later was a 2 knocker tied on and started making long cast with my old berkley 7 ft lightning rod with 15 lb cxx, caught a nice 15" and also had a green pumpkin power worm texas rigged just for laughs and while i was talking to my buddy on the phone a little 12 " hit it!! so i threw that a lot more and managed to get a nice pb tie off of his bed with the same worm!! had to leave early as my father-in-law wasn't responding at the nursing home but he's ok now. taking my grandkids and their mom and dad this saturday-oh boy! guy told me where the red ears are so i'll see about taking the kids there this weekend..
