1st float of the New Year

[Majja]

So Luke72 and I decided we needed a little break form sanity and pack up our floating devices to go do a little fishing at a mystery lake. Any way we got there about 730ish and got all aired up and started to fish. Well Luke caught the first fish after about 30 minutes a nice little Largemouth Bass, than he followed that up promptly with Toad of a Bluegill. Than I decided to long line 2 gillies right at my feet. Than all the fishies decided it was a time out and we did not catch anything for a while we kicked around the lake for a while. As I was kick past some docks I though my new spinner I had just picked up and hooked this nice LMB who swam away so he could come play another day. After this hook up I worked the dock for a while and nothing. Back to kick-en around. Luke was marking a bunch of feet so I move over to him and proceed to get into the Gills. Over the next couple of hours I landed about 12 Gills all coming on pretty much a small white jig with white head and red eye. Well while I am playing with the gills Luke decided to hook up with a nice LGB that was 14.5 inches and FAT, and quickly followed it up by one that went just over 15". All nice fish. And than all of a sudden it turned off. No more gills no more bass nothing, so we decided to call it a day, it was no around 3pm so we headed in packed up and left. All in all it was a good day stared out about 18* when we left it was 28 according to my truck. The breeze picked up a few times but never very bad, hell by strawberry standards it was dead calm .. hehe. I think we got lucky as the forecast was not suppose to be so good. Here are a few pics of the outing, as I forgot to check battery in my camera and it died. We brought the 2 smaller LGB and 2 gills home for some tacos, all others we thanked for playing, patted on the tail and sent a swimming.

Nice report and pics Majja. I have never fished that lake, but it looks like a fun place to go during the winter. []

any criminals busting cars? I don't like the scary reports I've been hearing lately.

Thanks again for the trip Majja, I had a great time. Too bad I forgot my camera and yours died, oh well, next time. It was pretty cool hearing all the coyotes out there while we sat in the steam

We did not see anyone out at the lake at all, other than us, we had the lake all to our selves.
