A buddy and I were sitting around drinking......adult beverages last night talking about going somewhere in the morning (today), but it had to be close since I have weekend duty standby so we decided to motor up to Mantua. Were on the water by 7:00 and Tommy boated his first LMB, just a little guy, it took me another hour before I finally boated one. Long story short we got 5 for the day, honors went to Tommy for size (18") and most (3)!!! Water temps climbed up to 64.5 last time I looked. Forgot the camera's this trip, nothing to brag about anyway.

We seen a lot of people catching them with a variety of "items" from tube jigs, cutter bugs, spinners and we used a variety of Rapala's from double-jointed #5's to Shallow Swimmer (Bluegill flavor) to a regular stick bait Rapala with a little tail on the back treble!!! We did see a lot of bigun's swimmin' around but no takers!!!!

Yeah, we packed it in at 12:00 since I promised the "Off-Base Commander" that I would go to her friends B-Day party, so it was a good trade off. There were quite a few "tooners" out there when we left, I was looking for you actually, I tried going by every toon to see if you were one of them, so we probably just missed eachother. Anyhow, good on ya with the catches.

Those are fighting words there buddy!!! LOL Nope, there is just the one ramp. Tommy and I came zipping in from the other side and started right where you were by the bouy line around 10:30-11:00, I even said "he looks familiar, but I didnt know you had a tube also. You had your red tackle box on your tube right?
