]Started out early this morning. Woke my son up and then my nephew. Met up with MaDfisher55 and headed to Starvation Reservoir. We hit Indian Bay. I had to wrestle with the 9 year old to get him out of the car. It was a little cool this morning. While I was getting him ready to go his cousin set up his tube and got him in his waders. Mark had already hit the water and called out that he had already started to catch fish. Nuts! the kid is making it hard to get at the fish. Once I pushed off on the kids and they were out I parked the car and jumped in the toon. Soon I had a nice smallie on line.

I was trying out a new method for me a double drop shot. I am now a believer. I had many hits on including one that marked on the ff as a large fish. Soon as I dropped the line I hooked into what acted as a large fish. I soon had a broken line and the fish took off with the terminal tackle and jigs.[mad] Would have liked to have seen this fish. Mark called and was holding up a large smallie as well. The largest out of the group. We caught a few dinkster perch, but the action was fast for the smallies. The wind was blowing when we arrived and by 10 am it was dead calm and the bite died off. Kinda wierd that the fish were biting like gangbusters while the wind was blowing. We caught a few more then called it a day around 12:30. And what a day it was. My son and nephew each caught their first smallmouth bass. Even though the walleye didn't show their little faces today, we still had a great time chasing the bass.
