Boy Scout Campout, Davies Island, Center Hill Lake 4/27-29/'12

I had a great time this weekend with Boy Scout Troop 347 camping out on Davies Island, Center Hill Lake.

We had two pontoon boats and my bass boat filled with 18-Scouts and Scouters and all their gear. 

The camp site was nice and the weather cooperated too.  We had to carry in and carry out everything we used including fresh water.  There was an old out-house on site though so that was good. 

All tolled we caught 3-LM, hundreds of small bream, 2 channel cat in the 15# range, 2-yellow cat and this nice nice 4.5#, 21" SM. 

The weather was great although just a few sprinkles Friday late afternoon.  After that, clear and sunny.


My neck is burnt but my heart is happy!  Thanks to all the adults who give up so much time to help with our next generation leaders!  Cudo's!

Tims Ford Lake with My Doctor

 Wednesday, April 25, 2012:  Had a great day on Tim's Ford Lake with my doctor, Will S.  He called me Tues evening and invited me to go fishing...he's off on Wednesdays.

We headed out about 5AM, arrived about 6:15 and started fishing about 6:30.

Tim's Ford has good quality bass...both LM and SM.  The average we caught looked like these two.

At the end of the day, we caught 16 bass, a mix of SM & LM, and 2-nice walleye.

Water temp was about 65, ambient 79 and WINDY!

The morning bite was the best, fishing points and saddles.  We caught them on Spinner Baits, Swim Baits, Jerk Baits and of course, Jigs.

Will has a nice 20' Stratos with 200 horse power Yammy.  A great day with my doctor, Co-Boy Scout leader and friend.  Really enjoyed this Doctors visit!
