Vacationing with the niece and nephews for the week - got a chance to wake really early for a Wedneday morning tubing session at Windy Point. Got there just before sunrise and saw an eagle flying around - then perched in a tree to see how I would do. Pix not very good, but it is an eagle up there.
Worked two rods - fly rod with a wooly bugger on the left waiting for crappi hits and bass rod with a wacky rigged senko on the right working for bass.
Picked up about 7 young large mouth bass - all were about the size in the pic - nothing over a pound or so. Caught a couple of them on the wooly bugger - and it's always fun to grad a bass on the fly rod.
Picked up 15+ crappie - most under/around docs. Picked up a wicked-feisty blue gil (first ever BG I caught in BBL) and tossed it back before I realized I hadn't snapped a pic.
Had to get back home about 10, but picked up a nice little trout on the kick back to where I parked - going right over the hotspot I've seen lots of anchored boaters getting hit.
Not sure where all the big fish are at - but at least I didn't get skunked!
Cheers,
Eric
