Thanks. Right before and after I caught that one I can two others and each had 2-3 fish following. First time that has happened to me.

Sounds like you had a good day. If you used the property boats, how were they? How is the vegetation out there now?

Ricky. I did not use the property boats. I was in my kayak. The eastern bank has some thick vegetation, but it did not affect my fishing. 

If you ever want to partner, let me know.

Thanks Bill. I will definitely keep you in mind. I enjoy reading your posts and learning about your adventures on these area lakes. I’m new to the club, but have enjoyed each and every one of the outings so far. Thinking about getting out to Lago soon. Thanks again!!!
