Arrived 7:45pm clouds moving in like rain, wind out of southwest (up the lake) 15 - 18mph,
checked out couple holes on East side - water in whitecap mode, 12 - 14ft showed few
signs of activity. Moved to west side, settled on hole 12-13' deep with two humps and
flat with sand bar protruting into lake. Set up lighting system, cranked generator, set
out 10 rods, single hook, minnow tipped, vertical fishing, 1/4 oz drop wgts spaced 1 ft
above hook. Went through 2 very small rain showers, started packing up 1am, (ran out
of bait (3/4 lb) Not knowing for sure what rules are on mixed of fish (25 spec's per
person / 50 bluegill, shellies per person) we stopped at 40 spec's in well and 10 bluegill.
Gills were of large "bull size", spec's ran in the 10 -12 1/2" range, very healthy. Threw
back 30 spec's and 28 bluegills
