Got out this afternoon for a little while. I was worried after my last showing I might not even get a limit this coming weekend. :o After today I think we will but let&#39;s just say I really hope so. Lake is up, almost seems flooded to me. Lots of water and some areas it is up in the grass. I was fishing edges or drops with traps and plastic today mostly in the shallow water. Within twenty minutes of being out I got a hard hit on a worm and set the hook. Big fish loaded up the rod and I thought I was going to really start my day off good. Got it turned my way and up she came. She rolled once and then turn strait up with a good jump. She threw the bait right back at me. emoBang That was my best fish today, I would guess she was about 6 to 7 pounds. I needed that one today because try as I did I managed nine bass and only four would keep. Had three good ones in the four pounds category, 4/1, 4/6 and 4/7. My other keeper was one about two and a half. The other five were short that made it into the boat. Almost 16 pounds with four bass is not too bad, if Derek had been with me he would have got our limit. lol<br /><br />The lake is looking good right now but no telling what the fish are going to do since it looks like they are going to drop it back some. emoScratch Looking forward to the CBA this weekend, hope to see a good crowd. emoThumbsup Jmax
