Poor 'ol Moses bitched, pissed, whined, cussed, fussed and moaned all morning like some cranky old menopausal widow women going to early Church service while all along looking for another husband from the time I picked him up until he caught the first 4 lb. Smallie keeper! You just gotta know Moses I guess!? "It's too cold and it's gonna rain and we ain't caught any fish anyway"! "I should have stayed in bed"! I told him in his drive way the water level is down about 4 ft. The flow is down to about 30K cfs. It's not too cold, the wind isn't howl 'in and it's not going to rain more than 1/4 in. Sack up! We are going to catch some fish today! Well sure 'nuff we did caught a few. The water temp was showing 51 degrees and had a good color. We ran up toward the dam and I started out with a big spinner bait and Jerry with a his Buleah jig. After about 30 min. I switched to a big crank bait. Moses catches a 4 lb. Smallie. I kept crank' in. After a bit I caught us another 4 lb. Smallie. Now we badly need a green fish. No more Smallies please. So what do we do, we catch three more Smallies, all about 4 lbs. each. About 8:20 I got to our surprise a LM about 4 1/4 lbs. So now we have three good' ins in the well! We caught a total of 15 fish. About half on the big crank and half on the jig. Jerry did catch our best fish, a LM 6.17 on the jig to cull my LM. We had 14.?? lbs. and good enough for 2nd place. The fish were in about 8 / 12 fow. There were some really nice fish caught today. Congrats to DK and Rick on the win! See 'ya in April at no. 3 on the Chick!
