Took a guest that had never fished before today. It is amazing how much we take for granted when we hit the lake. I’m talking knots, the rod and reel, the lures, presentation, casting, reeling and releasing.
We got to the lake around 10AM in a down pour. by the time we got the boat loaded and first set of instructions done it was just a misty drizzle. His first cast with a Steve Alexander secret lure he catches a 17 incher. He is disappointed when I tell him to throw his first born back into the lake. Second cast he repeats the first except the fish is only 15 inches.
All in all he got a B for the day. Because at 3:30pm he wanted to leave. His arm was sore from casting, he was tired and thought his wife was worrying about him. I assured him she was having a great time shopping while he was away.
So we end our 5 and 1/2 hours of fishing with 42 Bass of which 12 were under 14 inches. We had a 17, two 18’s and my guest caught a 20 inches that had to be 5 pounds. It regurgitated two small tilipa. I did spot two big white tilipa in the north end swimming above the weeds.
The owner has done a great job clearing out the entrance to the water and the general parking area. Give her my thanks.
