Fishin with the misses and a tailgate shot...

Made a trip this morning with Mrs 20 to fish what's left of Bussey. We caught a good mess of fish on shiners and jigs just easing down the bank. Mrs 20 got to show out for a while, always enjoy seeing her catch a few even though she's not that into it....

The state has drained the lake about as low as they can get it, about the only water left is the boat runs around the levee. Really hoping they know what they're doing and don't keep it down longer than need be. Did enjoy getting to see some of the lake without water on it also. Took a few pics of some stuff I didn't know was there and no I'm not sharing, hehe. ;)

Congratulations 20Watt. Those look like some good fish. I used to love to fish Bussey Brake when I lived in Swartz. It's too far now.

Great report, nice fish

Can't put a big boat in, we backed down the ramp then had to drag the boat to the big hole out from the ramp.

I know, fat man in a little boat...

Enjoy friend, may be the last time you see me in a pic, lol ;)

Great pics. It was nice to see the stump fields. Hope they refill it soon. What is the reason for such a drastic draw down?

Supposedly the state is gonna poison the water and kill ALL the fish to get rid of the trash fish. Restock it and fill er up.

I've heard they're gonna do some work around the ramp to make it safer to unload with a sw wind. That's just hear say though...

Be nice if we coordinate a way to maybe plant some cypress in the shallow areas while the lake is dry

Great post and pictures Jimmy. I may ride over just to see it. Fished that lake a lot 20+ years ago.
