Perchjerker - I have not made it to American Horse this year. The Lake is 7 feet low in order that ODWC can get the dam repaired. The flood of a year or so ago allowed the grass carp to leave the lake. The vegetation is growing back and ODWC has planted additional vegetation. This vegetation will allow the spawn to hide and grow. Last year the electrofishing survey produced a state record redear and a LM bass over 10 pounds. The water clarity is like alcohol. BTW, yes my handle denotes I enjoy catching pig bream. I am always on the lookout for a new bream spot. The bass in the lake are over populated and need to be thinned. The Dept is actually electrofishing the bass and stocking other lakes through out the state with them.

Reaper - Saturday I fished with my friends at Hominy and had a relaxing trip. The fishing conditions were poor. We were fishing under post frontal conditions and then in the afternoon a new front blew in shutting the fishing off and ran us off the lake. The wind came up and I could barely kick myself into shore. My partner got caught on the opposite side of the lake and took the brunt of the wind. Luckily he had swim fins on could power himself in. He was exhausted. It was a wee bit scary battling the white caps. I caught 5 bass and my partner caught around 15 but nothing of any size. The caravan of 13 4 wheelers were hitting the ranch ponds and could only produce a bunch of little fish. The biggest bass landed all day was 1 pound 5 ozs. Normally at least 1 bass over 7 pounds,sometimes 2 are caught plus a bunch of 2 - 4 pounders. The fishing was definitely off but the fellowship with old friends more than made up for it. I did hook 1 bass of approx 2.5 - 3 pounds on a plastic worm but he ran into a submerged tree and broke me off. Oh well.
I hope you took the girls to catch some bream. The bream are bedding again and should finish the second spawn by WEdnesday.
Today I am having a fish fry to clean out alot of bass,crappie and catfish so as to allow room for a freshload.

Deerhunterodie - I had the opportunity to visit with Larry and Scott Overson while at the Rendezvous and we chatted about you.:D
