What's a mud run??? Nice fish...

Bo Dale James Jr. · 08-12-06, 09:55 AM

Ask RatL Trap....but my guess a mud runs about as much as a henway....

RatLTrap · 08-12-06, 10:15 AM

Ack... a mud run is where you race trucks in mud? lol.

You shoulda let me know you were going!... Where did you catch those fish at?... I'll probably be out there tomorrow morning, and monday morning.

Bo Dale James Jr. · 08-12-06, 10:25 AM

You know the Pavillion on the west side...The big trees directly out from that.
I casted out maybe twelve feet with a Bandit Taco Salad and nailed that sucker at the bank!!! Up from that on the point where it doglegs to the right I caught one more.

Yeah those tree's is good fishin, i've caught some big fish outta there over the past 4 years. You should have went on the rocks, and around the area where the campers are... I have no doubt you would have caught a lot of fish. Seems like right now that's the best area to fish out there (at the moment), or well thats where i've been catchin em.

Nice Toad! wtg!

how big is the lake? thats a healthy nice bass!

Bo Dale James Jr. · 08-12-06, 11:17 AM

This lake is small..It doesn't show up in the DNR list.
I would say between 10-20 acres maybe???
Ratty what do you think?
It is nicely kept. Has few snags, and isn't full of weeds.
I felt like a tourist...didn't have to ward off ticks or skeeters.

RatLTrap · 08-12-06, 11:21 AM

I got some pics of it lol, its not really that big.....

RatLTrap · 08-12-06, 11:22 AM

Bo Dale James Jr. · 08-12-06, 11:25 AM

OK Rattley i was trying to find that spot where you took the last pic
now I know it is over by the dam and overflow.by the campers!
OH BY THE WAY I DID PUT HER BACK!!!!!
