Center Hill - July 29, 2011


One of my youngest Daughter's Son's has been here for the week so we have fished every afternoon for 3-days on Center Hill Lake. The fishing was poor - or - the fisherman ill prepared. However today I actually caught 2 nice fish - one keeper SM (19") and a LM the same size. Water temperature was 93, ambient temperature 97 with 5-mph breeze. Water clarity was gin with a green tint.

Lost a Heavy, 7' casting rod - broke it in two pieces high sticking a snag! Yes, I know better! Argh! Never broke a rod in my life and now 2-each in 10-months - what's with that?

Last night the boat shifter broke a cable so today I took it by my local boat repair and surprisingly he jumped right on it. All done and ready to go in just 2-hours!

Last week, my Son bought me a combined Father's Day and Birthday present - a new Humminbird 788ci HD Di and had it installed while I was traveling in the Middle East. Works great and I really appreciate it.

I'm blessed and thankful!
