Whitetail Ridge COE (Mar 24-31)

Monday - We had a good trip here and are in and settled. It is sunny with a high in the mid 60s. After supper, we walked over to the boat ramp and fished from shore. John caught a nice spotted bass on a chartreuse Clouser, which we brought back and filleted. We will have that tomorrow. We are hoping that we can get some crappie this week like we did last year. The water is down compared to last year.
Tuesday - We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel, followed by a Walmart run. It is  very windy and quite cool here, so we are mostly staying inside, except for a long walk around the campground. We really enjoyed the bass with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. 
Wednesday - We set the furnace to 55 deg and slept warm even though the temp got down to 32. Thankfully, nothing froze. We fished around the boat launch, but nothing biting, so we came back over to the bay by our site and caught several small fish including bream, bass, shad, pumpkinseed, and pickerel. 
Thursday - It was not as cold last night, getting down to 41 deg. It is windy, but now out of the south, so without the bite. We met a couple (Barb & Dave) who are in the next loop and had happy hour at their place. They are leaving for Cloudland Canyon in the AM.  
Friday - We woke up to rain this morning. It looks like an all day event.
Saturday - It is still rainy, but is letting up. We are glad we have a lot of recorded programs.
Sunday - We attended Ayers Memorial UMC this AM and were treated to a gospel group called One Achord, who sang. The senior member had an awesome voice and a deep love for The Lord and gave a word of her personal testimony and encouragement. Following the service, we were treated to soup, sandwiches, and desserts. The people there were very welcoming and made us feel loved and right at home. 
Monday - What a beautiful day today. We have been busy getting ready to leave tomorrow. The fishing here should pick up with the weather stabilizing, but sadly we won't be here to take advantage.
