Mac...you will not believe this. The camp ground is un-improved, so a lot of weeds (with those burs that just love to stick to Elvis's feet) and we were on some BIG rocks along with them being all over the place.
There is a good incline from the shore to the lake so we backed in so that the back of the trailer was a lot higher than the front to get it level which made for a big step out of the trailer.
AS SOON as we got there, we pulled the generator and the Ice chest out of the trailer. I was in the process of pulling the ice chest out, but when I stepped down out of the trailer, I found a huge rock. My left foot came down side ways. Heard a pop and fell backwards. Landed on my bumb then back.....on MORE ROCKS!
Thought for sure I broke my ankle, but the pain went away kinda fast, so Mojo helped me up and with a little pain I could walk. My sisiter in-law had an ace bandage (thank God) so I wrapped my ankle and was good to go. My tail bone and butt however.....Ouch!. Hard to walk and as far as bending or squatting....FAGEDABOUTIT! So right off the bat, I am in GREAT PAIN the whole weekend, but I managed to not ruin it for eveyone....today....LEAVE ME ALONE!
Lunker, we were commenting on that same thing about the fish. Last year you had to work hard to get a 20" with that being the limit. But, it does look like they are starting to turn around again. Thanks to C&R the fish are getting bigger, plus a quick release (with the Barbless law) in this warm water is a must. I think it is on the road back. Plus the water was suprisingly High. Couldn't see any of the trees in the water.
I remember the days of the 24"+ fish in there and I think with good management, we will get there again.
