Family Camping/Fishing Trip

[Bluebasser86]

The family and I went on a 3 day camping fishing trip this past week to use of some of the time I was off from work. Went to a lake I grew up not far from and love fishing but rarely make it to, it's been 3-4 years since my last trip there. I'm hoping this time around will remind my wife why I like going there so much. We caught fish nonstop the entire time we were there and it's a really nice lake with nice campgrounds (minus the marauding raccoons that stole our hotdog buns and tried to break into our food totes the first night). Lake caught probably 2 dozen smallmouth without any assistance, my wife caught her biggest fish ever (although it unfortunately was a big ugly drum), Finn was a fish reeling in machine, and I managed to come up just short of my goal to hit 1,000 bass on the year before returning to work (986 so far). Ned rigs, jerkbaits, small paddletails, and a Menace on a swinghead were the best baits.

Awesome trip! Campground raccoons are a tricky bunch. We had one open a cooler and take a pound of bacon in the blink of an eye at the beach.

So cool.  I can only dream about a place like that.
