Thread: What a difference a week makes

Hit Rabon at about 7am this morning. Fished our normal spots and the fish were not there. Fished a brush pile in 18' of water and caught about 60 but only three were keepers. A lot of action but no meat for the freezer. Tried a few more spots and then left the lake at noon with only 9 keepers.
Something that made the day great was we saw six deer that wanted to cross the lake but we spooked them. The best thing was about the biggest Eagle I have ever seen perched in a dead tree. What a beautiful sight.

Even though you guys didnt bring many fish home it still sounds like an enjoyable and eventful day. Congrats on your trip.

catching fish isnt always what makes a great time out, i think you had a great time by the sounds of it

Sounds like a good day!! You never know what you will see while fishing.

You done caught all the keepers out that lake you big dummy. Now we are going to have to restock it.

We did not catch them all. We took a Sharpie and put your name on a few for when you get back down there.

You bet guys. Even if you are not catching fish, a day on the water is better than a day on the couch. And that eagle was just the icing on the cake.

A day on the water beat's workin or the couch anyday for sure.Hope ya' ll get em next trip. We seen a pair of eagles last trip at monticello they are beautiful.
