Cottonhill COE (March 29-30, 2017)

Wednesday - It was about 190 miles driving, to get here, with one delay to wait for a freight train that was stopped on the crossing. We went into Ft. Gaines and had dinner at KJs Grilling Company. It used to be The Hungry Wolf a few years ago. We both had hamburger steak with baked potato and fried okra. It was really good and we left stuffed. The lake here, Walter F. George, or Lake Eufala if you are an Alabaman, is in much better shape with weeds than last year. We took our Duck Commander poles armed with plastic Zoom finesse worms and fished along shore. We each caught a few small bass and John caught one big enough to warrant filleting, while Joan caught one definitely worthy. Great! We will add them to one John caught a few days ago that we froze. They have an awesome fish cleaning station here, which we used.
Thursday - We each grabbed a breakfast bar and went down to the lake to fish. John took a fly rod armed with a Clouser while Joan stuck to her trusty Duck Commander. Joan caught a bass that was in between the two that we kept last evening, while John could only muster a little one. It was a beautiful morning and at least we got to feel the tug. We sat outside on our nicely shaded site (34) and got to watch a gator slowly cruising the lake and an osprey on its nest.
