Slow day at the home lake

I grew up learning how to fish in that lake a long time ago. Lived just a short walk away from it. There where lily pads all over and tall tules. The water was not clear like it is now. We caught lots of bass up to 5 pounds, 2 pound crappies and Channel Catfish up to 20 pounds. Bluegill were everywhere, but there was no Redears, and trout were never stocked. At that time there were signs posted that fishermen had to be 16 years old and younger.
