A Little Late

I hoped to get in on the Bobby Garland fish picture posting thread, but I stayed too long visiting with a neighbor at the lake parking lot. Oh well, It was a slow day fishing and they didn't want crankbaits. I broke out some Bobby Garland Baby Shads and put my new Sam Heaton Super Sensitive 9' rod to work. I ended up catching 21 crappie and one junior bass. Not bad for a slow day. It was great sport and much fun. I know there will be another matching rod in my future. I really like how the tip gives a little before the fish feels any resistance. I missed a couple of short strikes and half of the fish I caught were hooked right on the corner of the mouth. The other half the fish I caught were hooked in the back of the throat. Not quite sure where I'm going tomorrow, but it sure is nice just to leave the boat in the truck bed. I only had to recharge the depthfinder battery and remove trash & recyclables from the kayak.

Not sure why it turned sideways...and there's two images?

That would be nice leaving kayak in truck bed. Unfortunately I missed fishing today and have to work tomorrow. Have fun this Memorial Day weekend. Hope you catch many.

Thanks! Hope your next fishing trip is a blast and the rest are better than that.

Today was the first time fishing my favorite lake this year. Fishing will get better for pulling cranks once they school up tighter and the water stabilizes after the heavy rains we had last week. I saw quite a few small bait balls with predators following, always a good thing.
