Fished Thursday the 23rd with my son Tyler. Got there around 8 am and it was calm. By time we got in boat and out in the lake it started blowing and stayed around 20 mph all day with gusts higher than that. Impossible to fish plastics. Caught around 5 with 3 culls. Had a few jump off hooks at boat. Very tough fishing with the clear water and wind. No fish caught around the visible brush piles. All back in the shallow end of the lake.

Nice property but boat does not do good in the wind. It also has a bad leak and it filled up fast. Had to bail it out twice to keep feet dry.

Hey Marshall. I was thinking of going there soon. Is there something I could do around plugging the leak in the boat? A plug, putty, etc? Thanks Bob

Marshall, sorry for your troubles having to bail a couple of times. We will have the boat fixed within the next 72 hours.

I think the problem may be with the plug. I don’t think it was making a good seal and I didn’t have one with me to replace it with.

I used to carry an extra in my tackle box forever but didn’t have it this time. Hopefully that is all it is.
