[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Launched at south marina around 6:00pm. If you like your prop you'll be pulling your boat to the water company channel before letting it down. The mud is horrible walking. 16" - 18" of soft shoe sucking mud with a skiff of water on top. The channel going out to the main body of water is low. there is 5' in places but at the entrance to the marina it's about 2'.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We trolled the north dike and scratched up a few wiper. We trolled down to the light pole and there was a flotilla of float tubes. Most of the guys were from BFT. They said things were slow at the moment but I curious to hear how they did towards evening.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We trolled past after saying hi and picked up a few more wipers. Towards dark, we decided to move into the shoreline and try our luck casting toward the shore. We were fishing less that 5' of water and pickrd up several wipers until we could see out lines anymore. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We could see the tubers with a light on as we left. I hope their luck picked up and they got into them as good as we did. The hot trolling lure was the Producer. The hot casting lure was a chartruese curlytail grub.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Going back into the marina was interesting in the dark. We had to pull it through the mud again. [/size][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Make mental note: If you know you'll be dragging the boat thru the mud, don't let anyone on that doesn't have shorts on....[/size][/font]
