    barren today

    Well the day started off bad. Friggin boat wouldn't start. We fished around the marina for a while and trolled across the lake to some pockets without anything. finally about 10 we get into a pocket that was blocking that brutal cold a@# wind for a while. caught 3 nice spots around a boat dock. My partner tries the motor and it fires right up. Off we go to the good water up around the state dock. No bites until about 1 and then it was like someone just flipped on a switch. 2nd cast with a trap on a gravel flat I caught a 4 lber, 2 casts later my partner boats a 2.5 lber. It was just nuts from there. We wound up catching about 15 fish in 3 1/2 hours and wound up with 13.75. We had about 4 more that would have gone 2 or 3 pounds each come unbuttoned. We were both pretty happy with that since we basically lost 3 hours. It was kind of strange after I caught that 4 lber (Fire tiger trap) I had 3 that just sort of slapped at it. Swithed to a craw color and they started trying to rip the rod out of my hand. All things considered it didn't turn out to bad.

    Hell no, after fighting 20 MPH winds all day and throwing traps as far as I could for 5 hours I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

    Sounds good. Sorry about the boat trouble but it sounds like it is on at Barren.

    Sounds like a nice day. Too bad there isn't more water down there to spread everybody out.

    David, sorry you had boat trouble, but you did not give up and it sounds like it payed off. Good Fishing, I hope we can find them down there next week like that.
