Was able to get on the water for a couple of days this week and the fish were feeding heavy on 10" Thumpers and Jig'n'Lobsters Called a couple of friends that lived within an hour or so from the lake and invited them for a evening of lip rippin'. They arrived bearing gifts, Ronnie brought me a Bag of his Special Columbian blend coffee and Wendell had a case of Bud Light..Woooo Hooooo

We weren't gonna be too far from the ramp so I joined the party As we eased out across the lake to our first stop, I heard about a few of their exploits together....They were like Laurel and Hardy and had me chuckleing the entire time....Having been fishing partners for many years, they've aquired a good reputation on the tournament circuits.

I had marked one spot earlier in the day and decided to ck it out to see if it was as good as it looked....on my first toss to the 15 ft ledge with a 1/2 oz Hack jig and Lobster trailer, the fish hit with authority and I swung for the fence....she beat me up and broke off quickly, OUCH. I held the boat into position while retying and both Wendell and Ronnie commenced to whoopin' on'em with 10" Thumpers. We landed several fish over the next 15 minutes but none were real pigs.

Then right at sun set we cruised over to one of my favorite evening haunts....Everything was right for it, full moon just starting to rise, light wind blowing into the structure and no other boats nearby to see us in action It was fast a furious and we Thumped 14 solid fish before we had to slide back out just before dark.

Another Great evening with Great Friends

Goodness man.

Public Waters Shimmy, but I try you avoid the public when I fish ;D When I was young, my Dad told me to fish the most where others fish the least and find the fish that others haven't found.

When you do, it's like fishing your own private lake but you gotta protect your spots and not give'em away by letting others see you on'em.
