My brother and I had planned this date several months ago. His son Josh, 12 years old was looking forward to the trip for a long time. The weather report of 21 degrees in the morning did not look good but he would not let us off the hook. We loaded everything up and headed to the lake. We caught all of our bait in Sandy creek. With the front of boat covered in ice from throwing the net and a tank full of bait we went looking for some fun. We looked for the birds but they where just sitting on the water in front of the marina cove. We marked all kinds of bait under them so we started fishing. We managed to pick up the first fish for the day up out of that school. We started heading toward the old bridge and got out of the school. I think that we went the wrong way. We ended up fishing the riprap up by Uppy’s when Little Boy Blue called us over to the new bridge where he had found the school again. We reeled everything in and moved. That school stayed in that one place for a couple of hours and so did we. Josh had the time of his life. I think Josh ended up landing about 10 fish out of that school with the one keeper for the day, and one nice ~15 pound catfish. There was even a triple header in the mix. Thanks for the call Little Boy Blue.
Have a good Thanksgiving!
