    Little update, went out Monday night and sucked, picked up 1 eye and 1 crappie while trolling for saugeye after I gave up on the brush. The wind picked up towards dusk and nearly blew me off the lake!

    Went again Wednesday night and walloped 'em again! Caught enough between Saturday and Wednesday to fry 'em up for my son's birthday party tomorrow.

    They were in a little different pattern, they hit hard on crappie thunders and bobby garlands and then stop and decide they wanted minnows instead. We thought the bite shut off about 7PM but kicked back into a feeding frenzy for another half hour or so on minnows and once the sun went down they were done like always at OSFL. Weird trait that lake has, can never get anything to bite after sunset.

    Oh and I'm always in a '69 Razorback with a 75HP Johnson on it. New interior and battleship gray top coat. Didn't get to the bottom coat so it's puke green still. There's a reason I call it Frankenstein

    If you ever see me out there say hi, I'm friendly unless my buddy is out fishing me

    Have any trouble getting a boat in or out. Last time I was there it was a little tricky and they warned of falling of the edge of concrete. Is it full?

    Probly depends what you're running for a rig. Wouldn't even think about tryin to launch my Triton off the trailer over there. Don't think it would float off the tandem axle trailer:{

    I can get my Ranger 617 off ok, but had a heck of a time getting it back on, of course it was dark and the wind was howling. Might have to try it again. Wiggy I was out there Wednesday night, (I think?) LOL. Didn't do very good from the bank, did you wallop them in the brush?

    Yep they were up on the brush on the dam but pretty picky. Had something happen that's never happened before, about 30 minutes before sunset the bite turned off, then turned back on in about 10 minutes (schools?) and nailed dink after dink after dink. All males. Before that all females!

    My fishin buddy and I have decided that they have unionized, and take more breaks than they should

    My boat is 16' but single axle trailer. I fell off once last year. The trick is to go on the south side of the ramp and kinda angle it toward the dam a little bit. I've seen some pretty big rigs getting on and off fairly easy. Saw a really expensive bass boat there a few weeks ago that was 18-20' and got in and out quicker than I could!

    I don"t want to even imagine dropping mine off the end of the ramp. I'm thinking it would be a real nitemare! At 18.5 with the big Opti and a kicker, I still don't think I'd be able to float my deep vee off.
