The kids wanted to go fishing one more time and dad needed some more minnows so E-lake was the choice. The mods looked like they did alright gathering minnows so hopes were high. Not!
Started fishing with worms hoping for some minnows but all we could find were little half inch ones. No fish bitting and no minnows. Bored kids no fun. Went for a walk down the lake and finally found some bigger minnows. Packed everything up and moved down to the minnows. Out goes the trap in go the minnows. Succes was over after that one and only productive throw of the trap.
Fished with the minnows we did get for about four hours. Started catching fish out far but as the afternoon went on the fish kept moving closer to the shore. By four we were catching most of the fish only about ten feet out from shore. Lost more fish then we landed but brought home enough to share with extended family. No minnows left over for the freezer but had a lot of fun with the kids.
