I went to this pond over near my church and had intended on loading up on fish with a pop-r, but they wanted nothing to do with it. so I switched to a weightless lizard and dragged it over the top of all the weeds and again, no results. I didn&#39;t want to use a frog cause I left the special hooks with the corkscrews on the front of them in the boat and all I has was worm hooks but I gave it a try anyway and I got a little bit of action with it. 3 bites, one hookup, bout 3 pounds. It&#39;s a very pretty area, very fishy looking.<br /><br /> Also my and my dad went early Saturday morning below the dam and caught maybe 7 between us, either spots, LM, or white bass. Then later in the day, my fiancees brother and I went out same place and I got skunked! Missed a BUNCH of bites though. He caught five, one of which was a sauger on a 2&quot; white curlytail grub with the tail dipped in chartreuse spike it. .<br /><br />Finally, we had one funny screw up on the afternoon trip. We had our inflatable life jackets on with the manual puul cord, and as I was putting down the trolling motor the cord caught on something on the trolling motor and as it dropped it pulled the cord on that sucker and I didn&#39;t know what was happening for a few seconds! That thing really inflates and I could barely get it off my neck! WE laughed about it for a while and couldn&#39;t figure out how to deflate it and it was so big inflated that it wouldn&#39;t fit in any compartments so Christopher had to hold the stupid thing whenever we ran anywhere.
