I couldn't make it how did everybody do?
It was tough day no doubt. My boater and I were at the ramp at 530am to try and get the big girls to open up before bluebird skies shut them down for the day. There was one wrench in that plan though - overnight cold front! It was down right chilly first thing, with the typical sunrise topwater bite non existent. So we cut for the junk, only to find that weed growth was more sparse than in years past in the back 40, likely due to cold water conditions and increasingly clear water in Deer Creek. I pulled up a stick with loaded with small mussels yesterday, I would hazard a guess at zebras. This is the first time I have noticed them...sad. First Gobies now this.
We boated about 20 LM, with two 16.25 inch twins that fell 1/4" short of Big Bass. Tough conditions aside, it was a fun day, looked like the kids were having a blast and from the numbers present I bet some good money was raised for Cancer Research. I had to leave for a Bday shindig and didn't hear the final weigh in or total donations, but it seemed to be a success. All of the volunteers were very busy, and Ryan did a great job again! Next year, we are going to volunteer our time at the pavilion instead of on the water if they'll have us!
