Had the whole lake to myself. Started early at 0730 and fished until noon. 2nd cast with the LSCR, I hooked a nice 2lber that came off at the bank. Other than that, I got skunked. Lake Level is high, water has cleared up and had lots of activity with bait fish, but not even the catfish were biting.

Wow, tough day, but I bet it was enough just to get that new rod bent.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report and you at least got to feel one on your new rod.

There will be more to come.

When I saw this, I thought you took a trip to Polk County Florida. There is an Eagle lake there that I used to catch a lot of big bass at.

I wish P. The lakes around here are a bust most of the time. You have to travel 2-3 hours to get something decent.

That would make it hard to get out and fish to much.

Lots of road trips.

Don't feel bad, most of the places around here are only filled with little panfish stuff, once in a great while you might catch a red or black drum, but it is close and cheap which is why I go there.

When I actually get to some of the better places it is like going to Disneyland.

Agreed.

I have better days off now and will be doing some traveling. I have plenty of lakes back home in Central Kansas to fish and the larger lakes here in Oklahoma.
