Decade Debacle

As the result of some well-intended advice, Durel and I made a speck-run to Lake Decade on Wednesday, arriving to find the forecast 5 to 10-knot easterly already at 15 and with a lot of north in it. Our first drift resulted in a rat red. Our last drift - a fishless 2 1/2 hours later - resulted in a nice bass!! :confused:
Then we picked up the boat and drove down to the end of the road, launched again, and took off to Lake Mechant. There, in five hours of heavy-hitting some semi-sheltered shorelines with spinnerbaits and popping rigs, we caught nine reds (All but one short), one fair flounder, one mediocre speck, and one nasty drum. :p
It was a LONG drive home! :(

Sounds like a great time out on the water. Sorry to hear that the drive home was so long.

Pete, sounds like you need a better weatherman, and maybe a better advisor. (Did I say that)

Now if you wanted some Goo, Carp or Turtles..............

PPG, the wind was really too stiff to be able to fish efficiently. I never saw another fish caught - but there were some other folks fishing, so I guess there are specks in the lake.
And I'm glad I got, uh, "prodded" into going! It's been a while.
You and Linda pass a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for not being too hard on me Pete. That's the one bad thing about that lake, when the wind blow a little it gets rough a lot. I surprised you didn't do better in Mechant, I heard some better reports from there. I guess it's like they say "they were biting yesterday".

I expected a breeze on Saturday but it was a late show and from the wrong direction... Can't complain. Had enough to fry for the game with a plenty left over.

Sorry to hear that you didn't load the boat with them, but atleast you got to get out on the water.
