I was there. I did not bring the boat... it was more of a social visit to see my sister, mom and dad. Did I fish? Kind of hard not to with all that water around. Went out with Tap Tap Tap for about 3 hours on Saturday and it was slow. It was also very hot. Caught a few rock bass. We caught all of our 'eyes off the docs. I probably caught 8 just hacking around. Tap probably caught more, he was out there a lot more then I was. I think between 3 of us we probably caught around 25 for Saturday.
Used the same stuff I always use... chartreuse hooks and bullet sinkers. A couple caught could have been eaters, just didn't feel like cleaning them. My kid caught some too along with our 2 year old niece (everytime Tap got one on, he handed the rod to her).
Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish. ~ Roderick Haig-Brown, about modern fishing, A River Never Sleeps, 1946
