Wife and I made the 68 mile drive and put in at 11:45 am. The wind made it difficult to fish but found the usual spot was the only place to get a little shelter from it. Caught a ton of shell cracker and some bluegill. Most of the time I was using the 63 Lunakia but later switched to the Abu Garcia Diplomat Extreme 62 UL. Both had a Daiwa Ballistic FW 1000 spooled with Varivas 1.7# test ES2 Lemoni Ester line. Used a 1.5 gram Daiwa Gekkabijin SS jig head with #8 hook. The line is just a game changer for sensitivity, and maximum fun factor. The wife caught several good shell cracker. While the lake is certainly full of them I have not come across any at 10 inches or better. Of course this lake was dry in 2020. After about 3 hours pulled out and headed to picnic area to have a nice evening meal then headed home. Name:  IMG_5106.jpg
