MY BUDDY CHRIS IS IN TOWN FROM NORTH CAROLINA, SO MY BRO JOHN, AND I DECIDED TO TAKE HIM TO THE JEWEL. WE KNEW IT WAS SLOW THE PAST FEW DAYS BUT WE SAID PHYUK IT ANYWAYS. THIS LAKE HAS BEEN GOOD TO US THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO WE GAVE IT A SHOT. WE STARTED OUR DAY FISHING THE SHORE. WE BUMPED HEADS WITH MY OTHER BUDDY CHRISTIAN KOVAK WHO SAID HE GOT ROLLED ON A COUPLE OF TIMES SO WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT GET SOME ACTION.. WRONG! WE DIDNT SEE **** AND WE DIDNT CATCH ****. SO WE RENTED A BOAT. THE RAIN WAS VERY LIGHT WHEN WE WERE ON THE SHORE BUT PICKED UP AS WE TOOK OFF IN THE BOAT. MY DUMB *** LEFT MY RAIN JACKET IN THE RIDE!BRRR!!!!! I GOT DRENCHED. WE SAW BIRDS GOING CRAZY IN THIS COVE. WE PULL UP AND SEE BIRDS EATING SHAD AND FISH BOILING ON THEM.( WHICH SUCKED BECAUSE ALL WE HAD WERE BIG BAITS AND TROUT RODS. IN THE FLURRY MY BRO JOHN HANGS ONE ON HIS LIL SPINNING ROD! AFTER A NICE LITTLE BATTLE IT GETS BOATED! IT WAS A NICE LITTLE STRIPER! NOT LONG AFTER THAT MY BUDDY CHRIS ASKED ME IF HE COULD USE MY PLIERS AS IM WINDING IN MY KASTMASTER. THEN AS SOON AS I STOPPED,SLAMM!! I GET BIT,BUT AS FAST AS I GOT THE BITE THE FISH BUSTED ME OFF! THATS WHAT I GET FOR GOING BEAR HUNTING WITH A B.B. GUN!!(4lbs.TEST) A LITTLE LATER I HANG ONE AGAIN AND IT COMES UNBUTTONED. O WELL! YOU CATCH A FEW! YOU LOSE A FEW! THATS JUST HOW IT GOES. AFTER A WHILE THE SHAD AND BIRDS DRIED UP. WE MOVED AROUND AND TRIED A FEW MORE SPOTS FOR NOTHING. THE THREE OF US BEING AS SOAKED AS WE WERE DECIDED TO CALL IT A DAY, AND HEADED IN. I PERSONALLY THINK IF THE RAIN WOULD HAVE LET UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, THE FISHING WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE BAREABLE! HERE'S A TIP FOR ANYBODY WHO PLANS ON FISHING HERE THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE MARINA OFFICE SALES HAND WARMERS FOR $1.50.. GOOD FISHING TO ALL, THANX FOR READING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!THROWBACK RANGER
