13 teams fished.....our fish came from deep water on pump/treuse slabslayers 40ft dow, trees , about 15-20 ft double dipping with timmy toms on huckabee dipping rods.....tried casting and dragging but the wind wasnt very helpful with that

Oh did I tell you.......I HATE CASTING AND DRAGGING!!!!!.....lol....sorry Ranger couldn't help it

Boy and I ran out for a few hours this evening. Got to fish for about 2 hrs. Ended with 10. Pumpkin/chartreuse wasshopper and pearl/chartreuse mo magic 2.5". Cast and drag. 20-30 FOW in the wood. 10-15' Deep.

Then we spent the next 2 hrs helping some stranded boaters out. They wasn't in the best place to run out of gas with the north wind. Nice new boat I am sure doesn't look so good on the bottom once they got it loaded.

Good for you for helping them out. I really wish the marinas would be open longer than June to August. Seems like they all must make as much $ as they want then because they dont' seem interested in being open much earlier or later than that. Annoying.

couple of weeks ago wareagle and I were in I think Dry Creek and the guy at that marina said they had just taken over....cooked us a burger (which was great) and it was about 6pm

It's hard to make a profit during slower times. Sometimes it can cost them more to remain open than to just shut it down until the crowds are around. You have to consider the actual cost to open the doors, heat/air, electric, labor, inventory, insurance, toss in Obama care in some instances. If the profit is not there, why open? Also, I've had a restaurant that I worked 8 am-11 at night 7 days a week and it gets old quick. If a small business has to pay someone to be there, there is a good chance that person is going to rip off the owner in some fashion.

Amen to that Reaper

Went out today after the rain quit. Bite was tough, only caught 9. Water Temp had dropped from 67 to 63. Bites were very lite and we could only catch one fish from a pile or none at all. Pump/treuse and electric chicken were to colors of choice today. All on wood. 20-30 FOW, 15-20' deep. Man I'm tired now I'm off to work midnight's now.

Bite was awesome today. Got a very late start and had 25 keepers only keeping my limit in 21/2hrs. Had another 15 or so short fish. Caught a few on trees but not many. Most came from piles in 12' to 18'. They would not come and get it today at all, you had to sit on them and vertical. Great short day and bite......Ranger
