Put in at the dam early 6/17 with my youngest son to get our new to us boat wet. We did more running than anything but fished for about 2 hours. We caught one keeper walleye and one green fish casting points and banks. Peanut shad were everywhere in pods on the surface. The water was dropping fast, lake was trashy but passable.
Put in 6/22 about 6:00pm with my oldest son at the Marina (Ray's, Stacy's, whatever it is now). I can't remember the last time we were in a boat together. We fished till midnight without a single hit. Got back to the marina and spent 15 minutes clearing logs and trash from the ramp before we could take out. The lake was about as dead as I have seen it, no shad flipping, nothing!
It was great to get back on the water with my boys, catch up on life and have some laughs. My oldest is 27 and our work schedules rarely give us quality time together. My youngest is 18 and he does a lot of trolling, it's just not for fish.
Not much of a report but hey, it is Leesville!
P.S. to the original owner of my boat who put the green led string all the way around the inside of the boat under the gunnel, I owe you a beer!
