Is this what happens when you post reports with detailed information?

There was another guy just past the edge of the photo with two poles in the water too. Seriously though, I don't mind. They were all very nice. Like I said, I'm still willing to share info - good days and bad.
Not sure what this day falls into. Wasn't planning on fishing today, was going to make it a lazy online poker day but I was doing so well that I decided to quit while I was ahead. (I have a double buy-in ahead rule and by noon had doubled my buy-in on five different tables.) Got there at 1:00pm and saw the above at the hot spot. Larry had caught 5 since 6am with nothing over 2 pounds. The other two guys skunked. Larry had to leave at 2pm to pick up his grandson, and right as he reels in his last rod, I hooked up. Since all the neighbors, co-workers, and friends got fish from the last two weeks, I had planned on keeping only big or deeply hooked fish. This one was hooked deep so I kept it and gave the fish to one of the guys there.
They left a half hour later, both skunked for the day and all of the sudden I had the spot to myself again. I caught two more fish both just under the 2 pound mark and both hooked deep. My reflexes must have been a little slow today without my wife there to keep me on my toes. Wrapped it up at 5pm, the 2 fish weighed in at 3.75# and I got a co-worker to meet me there so I could give him the fish - no fishcleaning for me this week!
Ok two quick things. Right about 4pm, some trout started feeding on the surface, rolling about 20 feet from shore. I saw one that must have been 5#. I feel like if I had flylined a nightcrawler, I would have caught a few of these. Instead, I threw a roostertail and a blue/chrome kastmaster for nada.
Parkway lakes closes at 5pm (I thought it was 5:30) and the owner (again, very nice lady) comes by to make sure you are packing up at 5pm on the dot so if you go, make sure to pack up at 4:45 or so.
It was nice to get out and enjoy the sun and catch a few fish. I'll keep posting reports as I go fishing. If you see me, come introduce yourself - I really don't mind sharing spots or what works for me and also learning something new sometimes. I'm thinking something different next week. Maybe Troutslayer can show me an East Bay lake.
