Arbuckle 3-11-07

Saturday was irresistible. Ol Whatshername wanted to go fishing and Arbuckale is her favorite. Since I knew I would be retrieving her "lucky lure" from all kinds of snags and fixing her reel when the line got tangled etc. I really had no expectation of catching anything, or really even fishing. Week before a small club, the Bassin Buddies , had a tournament and the winning sack was over 17 lbs with big fish being a smallmouth between 4 and 5 lbs. We fished mostly lake points and sheer bluffs. I fished a spinnerbait, a lizard and a brown jig. She fished the lipless crankbait all afternoon. We caught nothing. Talked to a number of other fisherman who were on the lake all day. Some had a few fish but no one caught fish like the club had the week before. The water level is about normal and the fish are beginning to move up into the shallows.
