Another decent day on the water. Took the niece for her first trip, and I actually put her on some fish. I'm starting to think that I have a few places on this lake that I can catch a fish even on the tough days. Fished a variety of tackle: x-raps, senkos, jigs and the such. Pulled a few smallies from "Gilligans Island" and fished some docks. Not as many fish under the docks as in past trips, but saw some quite large cruisers. Believe it or not, they wouldn't take anything I could rig up. Oh well. Back at it in the AM...report to follow, pictures too I hope!

The bullrushes are thriving with carp. I checked out a cove that is normally a spawning ground for carp and they were everywhere. I'd estimate 200 carp thrashing around...some very large. They scatter pretty good when you get close, but I hung around for 20 minutes or so and they calmed down enough that they were swimming under the boat. Quite a show. I don't fish for spawning carp, but in a couple weeks, they'll bite doughballs and cooked chicken right off the bottom. Some of the best fighting fish I've had the pleasure of targeting in mid to late summer.
