My wife and I spent some great time together this Saturday.  She is not a fisherman so she had fun relaxing and reading and helping me net and count fish and other wildlife.  We got to see a lot of wild flowers lots of waterfowl, too many deer to count and a pack of wild hogs both entering and leaving the property.  It was just a great day to be outside.

 I had originally scheduled for us to be at the property both Friday afternoon and Saturday, but work intervened on our Friday plans and we were not able to ge to the lake till about 8:00 on Saturday.  The fishing was great as usual.

   The water level draw-down that was used to help put in the new spill way has served to hold back a lot of the grass growth that is usually so prevalent.  The good news is the new spill way is in and the recent rains have filled the lake back to normal levels.  The water color was  good with about 12 -18 inches of visibility.

The fishing was very good.  I fished for 9 hours and was able to catch 129 bass.  Most all of the bass were between 2-5 pounds.  I did catch three that were bigger than 5 with the best being a 6 1/2 pound fish.  The bass were mostly shallow and were not real particular on what they wanted.  The best feature of the day is that of the fish I caught only 4 were 12 inches or less!  That is really quite amazing, It speaks to how well the owner and the club are managing this property.
