Well, I met Jason at the LP Resort at 9'ish and "STEPPED UP INTO THE BOAT FROM THE DOCK!!" and off we went! Hit the Ledbetter bridge first and 1st drop,
Jason got an 11" keeper. Nobites, No fish for another 15-20 minutes and we went back to the dock to pick up a TPD buddy of Jason's and off we went again. Hit a bp then our favorite tree, both there in Ledbetter cove but only a couple unders. One consolation though, Mike, Jasons buddy, brought his dog, Ted to drop off at an overnight boarder. Ted was a HOOT!! Anyway, we hit several brushpiles and found 1-2 fish here and 1-2 fish there but like I figured, the influx of more water all afternoon Thursday and all night Thursday night basically either scattered the fish or basically shut them down. BTW, once again our local weather men "SCREWED TH POOCH" (sorry Ted, not you!). They got the wind right and the 0-5 variable was great but when they said the temp would rise to the low 70's with a slight chance of an AFTERNOON shower, by 11:30 the temperature had fallen close to 10 degrees and a HARD rain caught us on the far side of the lake and we had to find an empty boat stall to duck in out of the downpour. It didn't last long, just 10-15 minutes, but I was SOAKED and like I said, it was getting cooler. We hit a couple standing trees and gave up. I didn't count but I figure there were only 7-8 fish in the box. Jason was gonna take them home for supper but as he took them out of the livewell and tossed them into a bucket, he had 4-5 in the bucket when he grabbed the BFOD and tossed it in the bucket. About that time, that big crappie gave a FLIP and the bucket fell over and the fish all slid back into the lake! The PERFECT end to a PERFECT day........NOT!! It WAS fun times with GOOD folks though so it's all good! Here's that BFOD... The 2nd picture is the same fish but Ijust wanted to give Ted the spotlight for a minute.
