HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A SLUG WEAVE IN AND OUT OF A FLOWER BED? YEAH...IT WAS THAT SLOW! THE BITE HAS ALMOST DROPPED TO NEARLY NOTHING ON THIS LAKE, FOR THE BRUT'S, BUT I HAD SOME FUN FINDING OUT THERE ARE PERCH IN THIS LAKE - NO MONSTER'S BUT THAT'S SOME PROMISE FOR GOOD FISHING IN THE FUTURE. I JUST WENT OUT IN MY FLOAT TUBE AND WAS SWITCHING BETWEEN FLOATING A BOBBER WITH A LONG LEADDER AND TRYING TO KEEP A WORM ON THE BOTTOM. WHEN I ACTUALLY SWITCHED TO POWERBAIT ON THE BOTTOM, I WAS REWARDED WITH A REAL NICE 'BOW. THE COLOR OF THIS FISH WAS AMAZING-VERY DISTINCTIVE AND BRIGHT. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THE WEEKEND. BUT THE RELAXATION OF BEING IN A TUBE WOULD'VE BEEN WORTH IT, EVEN IF HE HADD'NT HAVE BEEN HUNGRY...UNTIL THE JET BOATS AND SKIER'S ARRIVED TO HAVE SOME FUN IN THE SUN. AND JUST A QUICK NOTE ON THAT... IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE BOAT OUT FOR SOME FUN (OTHER THAN FISHING) PLEASE BE COURTIOUS TO THOSE WHO ARE ON THE LAKE FOR OTHER REASONS...ESPECIALY THOSE IN RAFTS AND FLOAT TUBES, IT WOULD BE REALLY UNFORTUNATE FOR A LITTLE HORSE PLAY TO TURN HORRIBLY WRONG. THANKS!
