    On Wednesday my dad had the day off and asked if I wanted to go fish ML and I sure would be crazy to say no to that offer! Got on the lake at around 9:30 in the morning and shot to an area that we worked previously on Father’s day weekend and it paid off! We tried rigging right away with leeches and with only a few fish to show for we decided to pull bottom bouncers and spinners and cover a little more ground. That was the right choice landing a double almost instantly. I was using crawlers with a harness while my dad was using a leech. Crawlers were definitely the ticket putting 3 fish in the boat for every 1 with a leech. I also caught two of my personal bests that day landing a 27″ and my new PB a 28″. We were mainly fishing the edge of a flat but did find plenty of fish on top as well. We caught fish anywhere from 24 to 30′ deep and easily caught over 20 fish.. BUT not a single box fish, our smallest for the day was 19″ and our biggest taped 28″. Can’t wait to get back up there!!

    Nice going on your nice fish and sharing the time with your father.
    Brad doesn’t use bait and he STILL boats them..
