There were a few very nice crappies caught tonight and some nice gills. Should continue to get better. Hope to see you next week!

Sounds like the bite is getting better. Didn’t make it tonight but will have to be sure I’m there next week. These events are FUN guys. Its basicly a bunch of guys getting together and fishin and telling stories during and after the weighins. You guys who haven’t been there in awhile-you are missed. You new guys who haven’t fished one are missed too. Sign up and join in the fun. Its a great way to learn more about fishing the lake as we all stand around and talk fishing afterwards. I hate missing these so I try to get to them every chance I get. Hope to see you there. Very nice way to make new friends and see old friends.
Thanks, Bill

Feel free to bring your friends, wives, and/or kids too guys. You can fish as many out of your boat as you want. There are no teams. Each guy is his own team. You can fish them all or fish just a few if you want. Its up to you. Each night is its own so to speak. The point system is just basicly for the guys who want to compete for a year end plaque and are showing up for all or most all of the events. If you aren’t competing for that then just ignore the point totals. Come out for that nights FUN and for some more if you like. Its a good excuse to ”have to go fishin hon as its leaque night” if you know what I mean. If you want to fish but your boat is in the shop just post saying you are looking for an open seat if somneone has one. Hope to see you there.
Thanks, Bill

This was our first week since we switched to Saturday mornings. The water was up quite a bit and the bite had changed dramatically from just a couple days ago. The crappies which had been so easy to catch become very difficult to find. Guess that’s why it’s called fishing?
We had 4 people today. The weather was great.
