Drove down Friday morning, put in at Bucksaw and fish upwards to Hays Creek. It was tough fishing with the cold front just coming through, raising water and the lake turning over up at that end. Did catch about a 20 lb carp to keep me ahead of Paul in the non target fish category. Took back out to set up camp and drank a cold one with CrappieHead and Tink. Got a hold of Longpoler and met him at Mallards for a sandwich and some cold ones. Went back to camp and Day Dreamer showed up with his camper. Slept in a little late and fished Bucksaw down to point 16. Had best luck at Point 16. Caught crappie, bass and catfish on minnows. Gave the two catfish to a guy fishing with his two kids. Saturday evening was the Green Wing Memorial fish fry for his dad, had a hot fish dinner with all the extras, plus deserts. Had a fun time talking to all the CDC members. Went back to camp and after a lot of cold beers with Day Dreamer and Tink we decided to fish right above the dam in the morning. It was our first time for the three of us to fish that area so moved around till we found a spot that looked good. The white bass where chasing shad all around us. We had a blast catching and missing bites, both Tink and Day Dreamer both caught a crappie each. I was skunked on crappie. Tink took home 11 white bass and we threw back a lot of the smaller ones. We had a great time and the weather was perfect on Saturday and Sunday.
