Combo fishing, Blackshear 9-22

Got on the water around 730 AM, it was a tad brisk, fall is in the air. Water temp was 77* and water was clear. Started trolling the channel ledges in the main lake, caught 30 or so, kept 15 of the bigger ones for dinner...alot of small fish, but that means there is plenty of seed in the lake. Caught the 1st one about 8 am, Fish bit steady till around 1030 am and then shutdown hard. Trolled till 1130 and packed it up and headed to the catfish hole. Fished from 12 to 130 and kept 11 cats, by this time the lake was getting a tad bit crowded with pleasure boaters and water lice. Packed it up and headed to the house. Best color trolling was acid rain and stardust...felt good to be trolling again, I will do one more trip and then fishing will be on hiatus until I fill the freezer with venison.

Crappie are being fried by the wife as I type, catfish (and a few of the crappie) went to my elderly neighbors who had ask me for some fish. Video will be up in a day or two.

weekend retreat has a camper site open for a permanent site if interested .

Where's that at?

part of the old camper haven . 5 miles north on river road . turn north by striplings . it is on the north end of the lake . public boat ramp across the road . it is not crowded like most and the bath house is across the road from the vacant site . i think it is the vacant one .you can come in from Hwy 27 . it is a bout a mile south of 27 .

Thanks. I will check into that.
