    Did not go to weigh in and dont know results. But this one had to be more a test of endurance than fishing. It was pure miserable by 10 and they had another 5 hours to go. Hope they all had plenty fluids on board.

    It was HOT and not the fishing. We did manage to catch about 15, lost a good one. The wind was calm and sun was bright, the fish were scattered and most came out of 7' of water. Colors were gray ghost, butter scotch and gold did the best. Our team only managed 5 lbs 12 oz out of seven fish bag. I think we need to fish from 6:30 - 12.30 in the months of June to middle of Sept. Just a thought. Always good to fish and see everyone. See you at the next one, Lake Walk in Water.
