My pal and I headed out with nothing but a pack of of banjo minnows and a bag of our hand pours. 3rd cast with the banjo on the big lake, smash a bass. My buddy backed it up with another long cast and smacked 1 with the banjo. Both bass were released unfortunately since some old man was complaining. Its funny how many back flips you can make those fish do when tossing them into lake though. We proceeded to work around and were catching blue gills on the hand pours. 3/1/2 inch finesse. Fish em however. Ended up with a nice bucket of gills to eat which were great breaded and fried. Also made the gringo ceviche which tasted bomb dig but the toilet wasn't liken its job the next morning. Overall not a bad day. The lake was quite packed but as long as people keep using the ounce sinkers and tossing across the lake we will have a good time. -Cheers
