Saturday was a great day on the water with great folks. Double-dipped with Steve Elg and his two sons for a Full-Day Trip. Then a Quick Trip in the afternoon with Kevin McMahon and his sons.
Name a species of fish, other than drum, and we probably caught it today. We started after the cats and the first hour or two was hot, then they cooled off. We started throwing jigs for crappie, and Clint Elg had a blast on a couple of hefty blues on the ultralight gear. Clint hasn't done a whole lot of fishing so he got quite a lesson bringing in a 10-pound blue on a 4 lb. test ultrlight. It took some minutes. We hammered a few bluegill and then ran downriver to chase spots. Everybody caught some of everything.
Clint is shipping out for Iraq soon so today was a super father-son(s) get together. I was proud to play host.
Afterward I picked up the McMahons and sort of repeated the process... a few crappie, a few bluegill, a couple of spots, rock bass and one hefty blue (again on the ultralight).
Bottomline.... great fun was had by all, which means life is good and gettin' better everyday..
