@ 1-7PM Water was in low 60's 62-63 and not as muddy as I expected. Windy at first, but it changed direction died down. Took awhile to figure 'em out since last time we were there was late last summer.

I landed a 3.6 and 3.8Lb and had two others pull off. One I lost was probably bigger, but she was barely hooked and sideswiped a stump near the boat. Since she got away, I'll say she was 5Lber

I'll also post a pic of some other guys who were launching (TommyP, right?)

Aye Bill, congrats on the catches! We boated 3, max about 1.5 lber, lost 2 on the way in.

My son had a whole boat load of new tackle to try out... had brand new crankbait rod that literally fell to pieces... I was talking to him while he was really in and it just shattered... no hangup or fish or anything. Name Brand Rod that many Pros use, so it obviously had some serious flaw. Of course they are sending a new one, but it was very strange thing to see.
