Well we are back, and what can I say, it was a great trip! We caught around 75 fish in the three days we were there. Most of the fish were in the 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound range. We did have a few fish around 4-5 lbs and I lost something big the first day and one around 6 lbs or so the last day. It was very windy so it made most sight fishing impossible. Most of the boats on the lake were crowded into the backs of the creeks in the spawning flats and fishing in 6 inch to 5 foot deep water. There were plenty of male bass being caught with a few females in there too. Props to Triton for his 8 1/2 lb personal best, and also to Glenn when he pulled in a 5lb 13oz right in front of us!! ;D I have a bunch of pics so what I'll do is post a comment with each pic. Enjoy! 8-)
Also, I'd like to thank the whole gang for being one of the coolest group of guys I have ever fished with Everyone was just as friendly as they are on the boards and after meeting everyone in person, It seemed like I had already known them for years 8-) I'd like to thank Bighead for the tips, swimming a lizard caught 85% of all our fish. This is something that I can't wait to try at home. Also, thanks to Matt Fly for the beers! The closest place to buy some cold ones was an hour away, and he was on the ball bringing a cooler full for the guys every evening! Also, thanks Matt for the tips on the lake. I wish you could have made it out on the boat with us. Your knowledge on the lake would have put a sharelunker in the boat for sure! I wanted to thank Glenn for the gift certificate that he gave me to Bass Pro for making the stickers ( I am having to hide it from Blue Eyes ) Also thanks to Glenn for the bearing cap so I could get the boat in the water when we first got there. I lost one during the trip and he had a spare! I'd also like to thank everyone for the great food! I'm not sure of everyone that did the cooking, so I'll thank ya'll as a group. The food was awesome! And again, I'd like to thank the group as a whole for being the people that you are, and I can't wait to see you all again!!! 8-)

Buzz getting ready
Buzzbaitfool and Jason went on a guided trip the first morning, so I fished by myself. First fish of the trip for me on a texas rigged trick worm. I caught this one in the fist 5 minutes fishing! I didn't get many pics of the first day, but I got six bass in the boat, and caught 20 crappie. I hung into something big on a rattletrap, but it came unbuttoned by the boat :'( Jason and Buzzbait caught 18 fishing with the guide, the largest was 4 1/2lbs
The very next cast ;D
This is a cove near the dam, I didn't catch any here, but it was very nice looking...
