Man today ( for the most part) was as about as great a trip as you could ask for. Max and his family were in from Ohio staying on the Lake. We met at 5:30 at the Tamarac. Max, his son and his two boys put a hurting on the fish today, we stopped counting at 40. For a minute I thought are trip was gonna be cut short after a jab to my foot by Mr Blue Cat, stopped the bleeding, wrapped that bad boy up and we kept Fishing!! We caught in every spot we fished in spite of my Trolling Motor batteries dying( bad lithium charger). I was determined to show these guys a good time even with the hurdles!! We sent all out big fish back to be caught another day and sent Max and crew home with some for a few fish fries!!<div> </div><div>Bait was shad/perch in 12ft or less.</div><div> </div><div>Max and crew thanks for an awesome day of fishing and being patient at times!!</div>
