My buddy was camping at CFP about 2 spots down from mom and dad and the kids ( Roughing it for me is not having cable and a dvd player) and talked to him before headed back to the house to sleep in the big bed and decidede to try to beat the masses of idiots. We took off about the crack of 730 ( my fault, couldn't get out of bed after the long nite at the campsite) and tried the island with some frogs with not even a sniff. Headed back in a creek to hit some sparse grass and caught 2 3 lbers on a frog in about 30 mins. We turned around to make another pass and an old guys and his younger partner came in a trolled right through the grass we were fishing. So we packed up and went up river to a rock wall on the main channel and caught the lone spot of the day. It was a nice 2 1/2 lb spot on a shakey head. By then the water was rolling and buzzing with the others so we headed to a pocket that was protected from the wind (but not the water dummies) and caught a nice 3 1/2 on a swimbait over a brush pile and my partner finally caught one on a yamamoto spider grub. He had a nicer one on on the previous cast but decided to LDR it. Good day all and all.
