    made it out on pool 8 this morning with a buddy from work for some bassin and let me tell you it was great!!! Started on a wing dam that I usually stop at and we were greeted by 18 smallies in about 30 minutes all between 15 and 17 inches and were they FAT!!! but as soon as it started it ended so we abandonded the wingie and headed for the gravel pits. Our luck continued there for the next hour and a half with us boating about 20 to 25 largies. We caught all sizes of largies with about 1/2 of them being legal fish. All in all a great day on the water. The baits of choice today were Ratl traps and perch colored crankbaits. Don’t put the boat away yet cause there is still some great fishing to be had!!!!

    Yep, “the pits” are deffinately on fire right now. Also fished there Sat. during a little team tourney and had 5 keepers in the boat in about 30 min. Nothing big…caught several fat 2lbers with the biggest being around 31/2. Wished we would have started the morning in there…needed another 3lber to make the money.
