If you like timber this lake will do it for you, Its everywhere and much of it you can’t see.
I spent a good part of the morning getting my trolling motor and my baits unstuck from the woods that lay below.
We didn’t get the size today but we got the numbers, John had the biggest at 4.5 lbs
I believe he had a couple in the 4lb range. Steve Got A few of 3lb fish and I was busy catching the culls.
As the wind continued to pick up after break the fish got bigger and a little more plentiful, I found a flat before the timber 4ft deep that slopped to 8 ft
I picked up 7 2 & 3 lbs’s it was getting better.
Though we didn’t get the hawgs today we made up for it in numbers.
Always A good Time Fishing With My 2 Friends When We Can Arrange It.
This was the Final Day Of A 2 Night Stay At The Lodge And Fishing Moonshine & China Lakes.

I was having a lot of fish peck it and pulling me down in the limbs. If I felt an Interested party I would pull the bait up and make them come get it. When I saw line moving sideways then set the hook. Less breaking off.
