FISHING WITH FAMILY

July of '09 was a day on Newman Lake. I'd never been able to catch anything at that lake but today was different. Rick & Debbie know the secret to that lake and they were willing to share. Lucky me. They have fished that lake many times and today was my turn to go with them. I think Debbie is the best of the two at catching fish, but I won't tell Rick. After all was said and done, I caught the biggest crappie I've ever caught and 5 bass. Rick & Deb probably caught 6-8 bass between them, 2 or 3 crappies and a bucket full of perch and bluegill. Most of the perch and bluegills went back in the lake. We launched at about 6:45 AM and we were off the water before 10:45 AM. It was a great day on the water, and I can't thank Rick & Debbie enough for having me tag along with them.
