Weekend=GOOD

Took the twins out Saturday morning for about 3 hours. They both caught some nice fish. I called their mama to come pick them up when it started getting too hot for them. I make them wear their lifejackets while in the boat. Not just the law, but don't think daddys heart could take losing one of them. They both had a great time. The weather was about as perfect as could be with very light winds.

After Mom picked them up, and delivered daddy a Super Sonic Burger, I got back after them. Went to the same spot and ended up with 33 keepers for the day. The biggest being around 13" which Sissy caught.

Sunday was a different story. Mom took ALL the kids with her to go visit her sisters out of town. I woke up, check her tires and oil, gave her a kiss with a be careful, have fun message. I was off to the lake. I tried an old spot that I haven't fished in about 3 months which produced one 12" "One eyed fish", and several dinks. This is a popular tree that people line up to fish at. I then went back to the point I fished the day before. I caught about 4 there. The wind had come up some, and I decided to go explore a Non windy area. I caught a couple of straglers here and there and was about ready to hit the ramp. I was going to slow troll to the point, then call it a day. BAM, hooked a nice 14", BAM, another one in the same area, about the same size. They were holed up around a submerged tree or rock, with brush at the base. I sat right there and caught several more up till dark. I ran out of minnows, and used a home spun, red, red, white 1/32th oz jig, and a hot pink, silver flake, white 1/64th oz on top of it. I was experiencing my first double catches of the year. It was really fun. I stayed until after dark, then decided to head on back. I did mark the spot on the GPS and will return many times in the future.

That's when you know it's right, when you can stay until after dark and even then don't want to go home! Glad ya'll had a good time CR.
