A winter Sunday teaser.....

[Callin' In Slick]

Being pretty new to the fishing scene, I am still not real sure of what all water is available in my area for fishing. Accessible is probably a better word than available. I am extremely lucky to have very occasional access to a private lake full of fish and no pressure about forty five minutes away. But I am on the hunt for water I can get on anytime I want. Especially those with jonboats for rent so I can put my tm on and have at it. So this afternoon, I drove 40 mins to a 100 acre county lake I found online. There are bass (as well as crappie, bream and cats) in it according to the pics on the website.

I finally found it but never got to see the water since the access road was blocked until the season opens - tomorrow! I called the lake mgr and asked about the fishing: "People take 9 and 10 pound bass out of the lake all the time" she told me. I realize it is probably a bit of hyperbole and its not like she's gonna say the fishing sucks. But MAN I hope she is shooting straight! And the pics online do look promising. It's kind of in the boonies, boats are five bucks for the day. I can't wait to check it out so when the water warms up, I'll be familiar with it and ready to slay 'em. Until then, my fingers are crossed.....
