    Went out on the yak to hit a light by the house, fishing hitting like crazy. Saw about 8 reds sitting in the lights, pulled up plenty out of the lights and dropped ...more anchor. Casted through the lights and keeping bait suspended in water column w a medium retrieve, fish almost every cast 4/5 on red the biggest being 25" and one trout. Not bad for 30 minutes. Make sure to stay well away from lights

    Couldn't get out till late, hit the marshes right by the house casting with a plastic that was just laying around, right next to marsh and popping and reeling ...more slow, caught two this is my personal best to date.

    Believe it or not, had to work real hard for these reds today. Rain held off our start till 12. Don't try to fish lake right now, you won't catch much of ...more anything due to the massive amounts of freshwater from the recent downpours. Head back into the Weirs and fish the marsh. Fish around any and all points in the marsh. EVERY point has a red sitting on it. Throw it and pop it twice and hold on! Ctd
