I don't know who read about my last trip but this is how it went. 45 degrees,rainy,wet and never even had so much as a bump for 8 hours! Today was redemption. I got on the lake at 8:00am which was really 7:00am. The water temp was 43 degrees still cold as all get out, I headed to the flats with a long pole to dip for crappies ( I'm hungry) I caught three of these lethargic creatures and was ready to start Bass fishin went the first victim of the day blows up on a shad about a half a cast from the boat. I took out my LC and made one cast and BOOM! about a 3lber. I'm thinkin cool I'm done crappie fishin. So I watch and cast for about thirty minutes with no other takers so I go to the point I have been fishing all year long first cast, wack another 3 I was in the fish. The damn white bass were mixed in with the LM my thumb is raw I stayed on the point for 2 and 1/2 hours just smoking them. I even caught one on a red rattle trap. I was trying out all kinds of different stuff but the LC ghost minnow was the bomb. They finally quit biting but I figured I had about 15lbs for the day (five fish) and I never got that big bite. I am definitely a happy camper. Peace out. Drew
