4-29 All Day

[Jason54]

My dad, my 2 oldest sons and I got to go out on Monday. Fully prepared for rain..... That never came. We got to the lake around 7:30 hoping to catch some decent bait. After 2 hours and only 9 shad we decided to try fishing. Pulled boards on main lake points for a few hours. Had several blowups, broke 2 off and had 2 get loose after a short fight. We were out of bait Went back to try for more bait and had much better luck. We managed 12 nice money makers in 12 or so casts. Went back to the same place and my boys both put fish in the boat. Matthew my 10 year old got a new personal best with a 14 and Devan my 7 year old got a nice cat. Ended the day at dark with two stripers and two tired kids both smiling.

Great trip - I was up at the lake working on some work and working on the basement a little and the overcast skys kept beckoning.... was wondering how you guys were doing and hoped the front had not turned them off - glad to see it had not totally. I've heard that big bait has been a real pain 1st thing in the mornings.....

The bait was there. It was just 25ft deep.
