Got to Tara in the early afternoon to find that the 20 acre lake was now 30 acrers. Club boat was floating 20 yards from shore in about 3 foot of water. Creek was deep but not a problem for a truck. The path beyond was pretty muddy and I couldn’t park anywhere close to the normal spot. I almost turned around and went home but it was too pretty a day not to be on the water. It was a bit challenging to navigate, and every peninsula was under water including all PVC brush pile indicators. We did have fun going deep into the no longer shallow coves and as always we encountered many snakes along the way. Either way we caught 5 total (4 over 3lbs / 1 just over 2lb) all on chatterbaits. Best part is the memories made with my boy. He will not likely forget dad wading out in the water to fetch the boat.
