Son and I hit Struble about 10:30AM. We only boated 3 bass, but my son got his personal best at 5Lb 7Oz. I landed 2 and both were between 2 1/2 to 3 Lbs. All on texas rigged worms in around 6' of 70 degree water.

What really stunk was that we both lost a really nice bass each because of faulty knots at the hook. I can't remember the last time that happened, but for each of us to tie a bad knot on the same trip is rare. My son had about a 4lber right up to the boat and the knot came open and I had one pull off at the hookset. His bad knot was on Vanish, but mine was on simple mono.



I hope no one has any questions cause I won't be back till Weds evening and hopefully with some more fish stories

Nice going, Struble seems to be turning into a good bass lake again, just wish there was enough water at the ramp for me to get my bass boat off the trailer.

Wow, we had a heck of a time getting in. I had a small jon boat the other times and we carried it on the roof. Now I have a Tracker TX-17 and I figured it was just my inexperience that made it so hard to launch.

I finally backed in at an angle pointing the back away from the dock and we got her off, but still with considerable effort.
