It was a perfect day for fishing, or just about anything else, upper 70's, light breeze and blue sky. Much nicer than our last visit. The weeds have broken up some from their summer peak. There are floating rafts of weeds that move around with the wind now.and create some new fishing opportunities.

We launched the boat about 5pm and located a promising looking pocket of open water in the floating weeds, dropped our lines in and waited. And waited, and waited some more. Nuffin. 2 hours passed and we each had 1 bite.

When the sun dropped over the hill, almost immediately our bobbers started bobbing. Like someone rang the dinner bell. I pulled in a nice spunky 11" bass. Another cast to the same spot and out came a 10+ inch crappie. Sammi cast off to the right and pulled out a nice fat 10" perch a minute later. The next 20 mins put 10 fish in the dinner bucket and a couple smaller ones back over the side. The smallest of 6 crappies was 9 1/4 and the rest between 10-11. Nice fish.
I hooked into one nice bass which i managed to get out of the giant clump off weeds he went into, and up to the boat. He didn't like the looks of us and made one last run, bent my pole in a circle, made the drag sing a little and then snapped the line. Grrr... It was maybe 3-4 lbs. A boat fishing up the lake from us landed a 6+ lb bass. I'm sure everyone in 2 miles heard about it from the way the were shouting and cheering. lol
