I'll probably be headed out somewhere this afternoon when the wife and kids go to a birthday party. Yay!  Some free time.  Are the lakes really muddy after yesterday's downpour?

i dunno, but i was thinking about going out this evening also...today is poker day though so maybe if i run bad ill switch it up and go fishing.  

Probably not.

We are baby sitting our granddog but if I can sneak away I may hit a local pond.

Sam! I might be hitting up the Innsbrook pond, maybe I'll see you there  ;D

pkschul,

I will probably be able to go local for a few hour about 3pm.  I'm in Burke, so maybe we can arrange to meet up. I'll PM you my cell.

Limited to one car today which the wife has so I have to walk.  Only place in reasonable walking distance is Lake Barton.  Maybe I'll see you there...

You can park at the gated road on Burke Ctr Pkwy...

I got out for about an hour or so.  Had some red wigglers in my garage fridge and the light spinning rig was calling my name.  Went to a local lake and caught a few redears and bluegill.  Some were friggin' big.  

went out at about 5 am this morning threw out a booyah buzz bait (caught one first cast) and a skitter pop, reeled in a couple 1, 2lbers... > saw about 15 20 snatching bugs off the top of the water lol. For the mud mine lake wasnt to bad but i went to Dicks in the afternoon saw a few ponds n such around town were all sorts a muddy..

Got a 8 pounder today on Spring lake.  My PB!  Landed a few 1-3 lb'ers on  a smaller buzz bait then switched to black and blue culprit right before dark and pulled the lunker right out of the weeds. I had left the dinner table early to get to the backyard, when I caught it my family saw me fighting it and walk down to the lake.  My wife who is pregnant and sensitive to the smell got close and lost her dinner!  So I released it.  Would have made a tasty meal.
