Mrs. Claus gave my son and I permission to hit Fayette this am until noon. Beautiful & quiet morning on the lake w/ just a handful of boats out. Fish didnt cooperate as much as I thought they would. I guess I need a parking lot full of trailers before I can catch fish out there.
With overcast skies and zero pressure I forced myself to stay shallow, caught 8 all being 15 - 17". Manns Wake bait
Got tired of slinging cranks so went to deeper rocks, caught a bunch of 12" er's (where did all my 3-4lbers go?)
Garrett (my son) requested we to the trees before we left, caught 3 17"ers out of one tree. Went on a 10 min drought, flipped into the next tree and hooked about a 6-7 lber, it wrapped me up, came unwrapped, came up jumped like a crazy fool went back into the same tree and snapped 15lb floro like thread. Oh well, least I got to see it. Ended the day on that note so the boy could open presents.
Ended the day with 21 or 22. Merry Christmas to all
