      Report: Im not spen but Ill anwser or him. Hes young, young enough to not have a license, I dont really think he or any one should have to pay up or a loat tube to launch on the lake caus you can put it in any where. You dont have to pay launch ees any where else or them caus you can just dump em in where ever you want. And how is he hurting any one he catches and releases he dosetn take anything out o the ishery, hes not cat ishing or trout ishing which is where most o the money would go to inact launch ees and ishing licenses go directly to those unds to plant trout and cat ish. I the rules say pay he should pay on that alone but its his choice i he gets cought and gets in trouble thats on him. now or my report: KOTL riendly mini tournament series tournament IV was conducted today, Results1st Tom 7lbs (4 ish)Tie or second with 2.11 correct me i im wrong guys:630-130 Ok we ished all over the lake and every one cought ish doin somethin dirent i got mine on jigs and popers all im going to say is match the hatch, Look at the craws and the shad. There are still a ew bed ish lurkin around there are some big crusers and some good size ish munchin i had a 3.6 and a 2.3lb ish today and 2 smaller guys plus alot o blow ups and hits that i missed or ish that came un buttoned. Even had a ish i estimate to be 4-6 lbs blow up on a topwater today but missed it 2 times in a row.

Walked around the lake lookin or ish i could hit with sight, ound one dink on the other side o the lake just past the dock hooked it 1.5 lb or so maybe more he was pretty pudgy. Any who wandered into that back cove and saw two big ol buckets just wantin to get cought right on the bank too scince it was deep enough to ind them, my trouble wasI couldnt seem to locate the bed I had them lookin at all sorts o lures senkos inese worms (I shoulda tryed a big ol bubble gum yodo to tick em o) and only got one serious look outta it with a lucky crat pointer he looked at it moved towards it a bit then just sat there and didnt moveso neither did iI gave it a twitch and the ish took o, I decided to let them chill down or a bit and check out other areas ound nothing came back 20 mins later and bolth ish that were sitin on the spot werent back yet so I moved back around by the island and boat ramp spoted that ish Aaron wanted and threw one enese worm at it and BAM she hit it like a ton o bricks!!!!! jk she ignored it then swam o. Must repair broken rod now have un guys, maybe the 3 o us should go out there one o these weekends and just ool aroundTom

      Report: I ished riday with one ish that came unbuttoned about 4 eet rom shore. came on a baby brush hog with a arm breaking cast... The rumor about the big striper are that when they have to let the lake level down they swim up rom the canals and get in. in October I saw a 36 incher loatin near the channel pt dock. Maybe could have spawned I dont know what type o conditions stripers need to spawn...They would get mighty big eatin trout and crappie in that lake I imagine...Thas anotehr thing the crappie must be doin well in there caus ive cought some whoppers in there...TOm
