Well, me and Zburninator met up with Utmuddguy down at Khunis ditch in Springville at about 7:15 p.m. Daniel C had already picked up Rednekfisher. We wanted to try to get down to Lincoln beach, but it was decently breezy and the lake was a little too choppy to get down there, so we found a decent little spot in the reeds in Mud Lake.
The fishing wasn't bad, wasn't great. Me, Muddguy and his dog Dollar were on his boat. Rednek and Zburn were on Daniels boat. It seemed like they were flopping a mud cat across the top of the water about every 10 minutes. I'm not sure what everyone was using, or what kind of rig they were set up with, so hopefully they'll chime in.
I was just drifting shrimp on one line and shrimp and worm on my other line, no weight or anything. I hooked up with a big channel after about an hour or two, after a decent fight, I got him close to the boat, but he took off under the boat and snapped my line. Probably another hour and a half later I hooked on to another big one, luckily landed this one and took some pictues. Of course the 2 big ones I had on, had to tangle on to my Wal Mart special rod with 6 lb. test instead of my 12 lb. test line.
Other than that, I caught one mudder and Muddguy caught several mudders as well. I think Daniel C caught another good sized channel and took a picture.
All in all it was a fun trip. Good to get out and relax on the lake with some good guys. Thanks again for bringing the boats gentlemen, it made the trip. Go ahead and add to the report as well.
