We enjoyed the 129 mile drive here thru rolling hills and densely wooded forests, with light traffic. We got set up, had dinner, then fished from shore until dark. Joan caught two nice spotted bass, which John filleted for dinner tomorrow. The weather was perfect with 73 deg. temp and we have a beautiful spot in a nice cove on West Point Lake.
Saturday - We launched the kayaks after a late breakfast and fished mostly in the coves. John had the only action, with a spotted bass about the same size as Joan's yesterday. We had the three for dinner and the were delicious. We launched again in the evening and Joan lost one bass before we got rained out.
Sunday - We got up early and drove over to R. Schaefer Heard COE Campground, where the West Point, Ga. First UM Church Youth Group put on an excellent Sonrise Service. We fished between showers and caught two nice crappie that we kept and a couple bluegill that we released.
Monday - It turned into a gorgeous day today, with bright sun, a nice breeze, and perfect temp. We got the kayaks out from shore here and fished a likely bay for two hours, but only caught one bream. The sun should warm things up some and get the fish biting again. We got out again after supper, and for quite some time saw no action. We were close to calling it quits, when just before sunset, we began seeing some action. We ended up catching one nice bass and several crappie. We kept the bass and the two biggest crappie which were very nice. We continued to use small Clouser Minnow flies John ties on a size 10 streamer hook. Color did not seem too important. We fished again in the evening and caught several crappie and one very large bream, but releases all of them. We've had two fish dinners and will have one more tomorrow. That's enough.
Wednesday - Rainy day today, so we cleaned pollen off the First-Up and awning and put them away so we don't have to do them wet when we leave. The weather is supposed to be rainy and windy on Friday when we planned on our final leg to Trackrock, so we extended our stay for one more day so we could travel with better weather and open up the fifth wheel when it is not raining.
