It has been killing me to get back out on the water and catch something that will actually pull back when I set the hook. With the kids off of school today I decided to make it this afternoon and head to Bonham for a couple hours of evening fishing. It started off bad when I pulled the boat out of the garage and ripped off the passenger tail light of my trailer buy turning too early coming out. I managed to get it repaired but I will still need a new light housing. We got to the lake around 3:00pm and boy is the lake low. I had to crawl over the top of my truck to get into the boat to unload. Finding a spot to beach was impossible so I pulled the bow under the dock and climbed up. We headed to our first spot -- Oz's favorite spot and got blanked (as usual for me over there). Moved over to another spot and I quickly landed 2 fish on a black/blue jig.  We fished a few more spots with little action and at our last spot, just before the sun went down over the horizon, Jessica connected on this fish with a "Dirty Sanchez Sweet Beaver"...  Corey was a little dissapointed that she did not catch any fish but the girls learned some new methods this trip. I was flipping the reeds and they kept casting into the and getting stuck. I taught them how to flip with their spinning rigs and Jessica is getting pretty good at it. Corey still needs some help but they are learning. Just before dark I tried a spinnerbait but did not pick anything up on it. All of my fish came on the 1/8 oz jig. It was a short trip but great to be on the water none the less and nice to feel fish that actually pull back.  Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Great job Mike. Looks like time well spent. If you're richer than me I think we're related. If you're poorer than me I know we're related. My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/

You are such a great dad Mike. Starting to make me look bad. Quit being a mad, little bald man! Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. I forgot the CAMERA! | ||
