BLACK LAKE 4-26-16

[Pastor]

Haven't been to Black Lake since the flood. I decided to run over there this morning and see what was what. Water is still around 3 feet high, muddy in a lot of places, and with more current than I like to fish in. Didn't get a bite until 10:00. Then, between 10 and 11 I caught 6 crappie and hooked a big bass that broke off after running around the trolling motor. Only kept 3 of the crappie. I quit at 12:30. Water temp was 70-71 degrees. The fish were all caught on my 1/32 "Silver Ghost" in 6-8 feet of water away from the current holding very tight to cover. The 3 I kept were all 11.5-12 inches.

Gotta buy boat trailer tires before I go back. It may be a while. I thought the tires that came on the trailer, which is only about 20 months old, would last longer. I guess they put cheap tires on it at the factory. I noticed when I was loading the boat that the tire on the driver's side of the truck was almost completely bald. I guess it's a good thing I noticed it before I headed out on a long trip this summer when the road gets hot and had a blowout. Thank you, Lord!!!
