I got a chance to fish with my best fishing partner, my daughter. Any time we can go fishing is good but fishing with my children is always a real treat.

We got to Black Jack lake at about 7:15 on August 3rd and fished for 3 1/2 hours.  The lake was in good shape and the breeze and early cloud cover helped keep the heat at bay.  We caught 17 fish with some real nice fish from 10-10:30. 

We tried to force-feed them frogs early but ended up catching the most and biggest on flukes.  The water is very clear and maybe half the lake is fish-able (too weedy on other half).  Water level is holding up well.

Bruce:  That is a nice bass.  It has been a little while since I fished Blackjack and at that time the boat did have a fairly bad leak.  Did you use the boat there and did it leak?

Bill, We brought our own.  10’ Pelican Bass Raider.

I fished here once before and intended to use the club boat but the wind was just too much and we chose to fish on the bank instead, so I can’t comment on the status of the club boat.
