    1st outing in the kayak and 1st LMB (15/16) in the books for 2021. Lessons learned today. 1. Maintain a safe distance from geese, they can be aggressive. 2. Don't ...more give up fishing, even when they're not biting on your favorite lure. 3. If it's calling for 10% chance of rain, bring rain gear, IT WILL RAIN! Big THANK YOU to Mark for spending the morning on the water with me and Rick for sharing an extra raincoat. I owe you one! Hope everyone has a GREAT week!

      Wow! I never caught a frog except once with a night crawler and i was playing with him with the worm to see if he would take it. Glad you got that LMB. Nice report.
    2. Jim Holland 0
      Yeah, that's what I did, too, when I went. I was so shocked at how many were out in kayaks, fishing, I almost left before I unloaded a single piece of gear. ...more Seemed everyone was hutting the submerged trees. I focused on the weeds and shadowy banks.
    3. Jeff B 0
      Jim, you ain't kidding! 😂 There were so many people fishing down by the dam so I decided to explore a bit.
    4. Jim Holland 0
      🤣 Before I read where you were, I thought "Glade Run Lake". The shallows are infested with them.
    5. Rick S 0
      Pretty unique catch Jeff!
