Les called and asked if I was interested in going fishing on Friday. He was working on rebuilding his motor and said that he wanted to test the motor, so why not do some fishing while we were at it.
I met him at the ramp and started to load my gear onto his boat, but something didn't look right. The 40 hp motor that he had was now a 50 hp and it changed from a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke. I must say that was one heck of a rebuild he did on that old motor. So we worked on doing a break in on his new motor.
We went to the beds that we have been working for the last couple of weeks and cast out the worms. It was a little slow at first but I boated a nice gill. I was two up on Les before his rod bent. then things got slow.
We decided to move around the lake to see if we could find some action. We spotted some shad being busted and tried to cast into them to see what was chasing them. No luck. It turned out that there were a bunch of gars in the area I think that was chasing the shad
Weather moved in and we moved out. Took 4 fish home for dinner.
