Thread: I'm back from Spring Break!!!!

Great week! I should have taken you up on the trip to Murray last week!

Sounds like a heck of a way to get away from the books for a week. Persistance paid off giving you good times on the lake with family and friends AND helped fill the freezer. Now, hit those books hard and get the same kind of results!!

Here are the first fish of my spring break. Friday afternoon was slow, but in 3 hours I managed to put 8 in the boat by myself. Saturday morning was equally as slow, but with much persistence my dad, my uncle (Team Beatlespin), and me had 28 to make their way into the livewell. The biggest fish I'm holding up is a 2 lber that my dad caught. A pretty good start to the week.

After taking Sunday off, me and my dad hit the lake Monday morning, bright and early. Needless to say, the fishing had slowed way down. We fished long and hard for the 7 that we had. None the less, it was a great day spent on the lake with my dad and we still ended up with some nice fish!

Me and my girlfriend hit the lake again Tuesday morning. This time with a little more luck. They were slow, but we had 9 total with 2 fish weighing in at 2 lbs. She and I both had a great time and if I can brag a little what a girl I have found! She was out with me early this year when it was sleeting, raining, and 30 degrees. The only complaining I heard from her is that the livewell was looking slack! haha

After taking a windy/rainy Wednesday off I fished with some friends Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. The fish started turning on. We had 58 total for the two days. I thought this might be the best day I would have over Spring Break till I hit the lake Saturday with my dad and uncle again.

What a way to end my break. My dad, my uncle, and me drifted minnows to catch the best mess of fish of the week. The three of us had 61 in the boat by 11:30 when the pretty much just quit biting. Me and my girlfriend went back out at 2 and fished till 6 and wound up finding 8 more crappie that were willing to cash in their chips and gobble up our minnows. What a great day of fishing it was!

Just keep rubbin it in! Hartwell was cold and slow today, you didn't miss much. Only five fish and cold wind!
