I woke up late so I missed the early bite but I got on the water around 7:30ish. Sun shining, birds chirping (except for the magpie that met my bumper on the way in to the marina) and I was going fishing! My buddy and I had another bet going, longest length of first bass caught gets $10. My first bass was 10 1/2" and I figured that was it, I accepted defeat. About five minutes later he hooked a bass that was no more than 7" long!!! I really felt bad taking his money....
Main lake temp 60*, fished water as high as 62.7* and as low as 53.*. Got a few fish in the boat and it started to sprinkle. About two hours later it really came down. My daughter, the smartest one on the boat, made a 'tent' and listened to the radio while my buddy and I got soaked but we were catching fish. Biggest was 18.5" but pretty skinny at only 2lbs 14oz. Caught alot of dinks that were 10-12" this trip. Only had five or six that were over 15".
There were about 20 float tubes out in the Rock Cliff arm, it sure is awesome that it's such a big area that's wakeless. I still need to fix the date on my camera
