One of our neighbors stopped by last evening to trade fishing stories with Kent.  They are spending whole winter here and had a pretty good map showing lake access points.  Turns out that they sell that map at the local bait store, our fist stop this morning.  Armed with the map and a dozen minnows we head out to catch us some fish!

First, we make it to the open lake. A canal circles the lake and today offers a great ride to the open water.  Rats, even with the light wind today it is too rough to anchor and since the lake is about 2’ shallower than normal pool so it’s too shallow to drift.  What to do?  We head back into the channels and sheltered weed beds.  Fishing was not the highlight of my day but there have been some great moments.
