    Default Me and the Amish.


    Picked boat up after being serviced and wanted to check it out. Headed to Laurel Hill Lake hoping to find the big Gills. Didn't find the big boys but did have a nice relaxing day catching fish. Got into some 8 inch Gills and shellcrakcers....and surprised to find a spot that had crappie stacked up on it. These things were in 2 feet of water. Thought that odd as water temps were in mid 80's and the spot had no cover at all. The crappie were all in the 10-11 inch range. Even caught a few green sunfish. Just an enjoyable day on a 360 acre lake with only me and 3 Amish fishing out of kayaks. They were jug fishing for cats....and they loaded their coolers. I left same time they did and thought it was funny seeing a horse drawn buggy with kayaks loaded on them and headed down the highway. I didn't take any pics but I caught around 7 catfish myself on the Trout Magnet. They love the Trout Magnet but I don't even want them in my boat...LOL. Used an UL rod and twitched a Bison colored Trout Magnet for the day. Rod was strung with 2# test SOS line. All in all a nice day. Life is good!

    Nice job. I haven't been to Laurel Hill since I was a kid. Do they have a horse power limit or is it electric only? I remember us renting a boat and bringing a motor or trolling motor it has been over 40 years. I need to plan a trip sometime maybe camp at Davy Crockett Park and fish Laurel Hill.

    You can run whatever boat you want in there....no matter the horse power.

    I don't know if they break game laws around here or not but I do know they are catch and eat...LOL......and if it has two eyes, no matter how small it is going home with them. The cat fishing is really good in Laurel Hill.

    That is a cool pic of the yaks. I have some Amish friends and they are great folks. Do anything for you anytime. We had a tornado and they were there for days with saws and buggies.
