    Default Not too bad


    Took the family to Tippah County Lake today hoping to work the bream over on the full moon. Early in the day the lake was dead calm and I thought we might end up joining the "Full Moon Blues" thread. Caught one decent one in three hours. A fellow angler offered his six as he gave up. The wind finally put a light chop on the lake around 2:00 and it was like the switch turned on. We caught 29 between us (wife, son, daughter) and quit at 4:00. After 2 hours of filleting I'm wishing we'd of quit sooner. We're set for fillets and probably won't keep any more for awhile. The 10" shellcrackers was another gift from
    a fellow angler as both of us were leaving.

    I don't know what was up, but they weren't biting at all between 10:00 and 2:00, and then after 2:00 we started to catch one at least every 5 minutes. I thought it may have been the absence of wind, but maybe it was something else. Nobody else was catching any and were giving us their fish since they hadn't caught enough to make a meal. I'm glad for their generosity - adding the seven given to us we ended with 37 good ones. I feel lucky that we stuck it out long enough for the kids to catch a bunch.
