[Strato-G]

As I promised, later report fo above waters. We had prefisfed Friday, probably catching near 40 squeekers and each of us, Pointer78, Dlmarr & myself all had a small tourny limit emoSmile . Happy about the prefish results, slept soundly, paired up Sat AM & off to 1st area. 30 minutes I had 1st keeper. a 3.35 lm. @ 2pm I still had the lonesome emoFish & co-angler was in search of a keeper emoPlease . Stopped in unknown territory, Dennis sets hook & behold, its a thin keeper emoApplause. Time to get closer to ramp, had enough time for couple casts, I spot a hazzard in water, stop, make a cast & tell Dennis it is rough. emoDoh He throws right behind me, JERK, net now, its a giant, its a giant, gotta have this 1. emoBadLanguage it jumps once, then twice, emoBadLanguage , not this time, I get it in the net, hi5's and all. Dennis's comment, wow, saved by the bell. Weigh in , he had just over 5.70ish lb, enough for 4th place, lost out on big fish by100ths. emoBigsmile . I weighed in for 3.35 for my lonley keeper. I fell to 10th for the season & Dennis moved up to 2nd for season. All in all, would not reccomend these waters unless you just want to wash off your lures emoUpsmile . Always good time on water ireguardless........... Our emoFish came from very shallow water, could never get a deep bite, multiple lures, most on Shakeys, green pumkin & T-Rig red shad u-tail........... emoGeezer emoUSA

I never caught anything but squeakers. Unfortunately, I poured some jigs this week. But ran out of hooKs larger than a 4. Didn't think it would matter, but what a lesson. Lost 4 right at the boat. Only thing I can think of was those 4 hooks instead of the 5's and 6's I usually use. Thank god I caught some top water first thing..
