Great Day!!!

With the winds of late on our minds we awoke on Friday morning for a scheduled trip out on Lake Livingston...it was "great", flat and smooth.
Our good friends were in town and we were going to "try" and find some white bass for a fish fry. Now bear in mind that we haven't been out fishing this year (Lady Wings is the fisherperson...she'd already caught four nice catfish off the dock) and our friends had never caught any white bass on the old 190 roadbed. So...with all that we headed out early (in case the winds kicked up later) with little expectations but having a "great" day on the lake.

With the GPS we found the roadbed and started trolling. Nothing...then one, then two...then two at the same time. And so it went...slow (but we are all novices) until we had both live wells full of fish. "Great"!!!

And so the morning went...the ladies catching most of the fish and the guys driving and repairing lines...yes we lost a few to snags. One funny snag resulted in pulling up our "previous" snag...complete with Jet Diver and Pet Spoon!

"Great day" of fellowship and fun...and a few fish.
