So finally got my boat down here after 8 months waiting…trolling motor installed and some minor stuff done to her and she is now ready for some fishing. well first 2 trips were more of test runs and just bought rods along so didnt really fish 2 hard. Really had nothing to show other than seeing some nice reds in the mud and grass. Got out tuesday for a real fishing trip and had to go solo friend backed out last minute and everyone else working. Left dock at 600 am still dark …perfect conditions…no wind and totally flat very very quiet and still. up the wando i went and stopped at first grass marshy area i saw because i couldnt wait to wet rod. saw a lot small wakes and some swirls in grass edge and threw top water plug(bdonk a donk)…after 2 attempts by red he smashed it and zzzzzzzzzzzzz on third cast best feeling …not a sole around …just me on a nice red. 26 inch. got 1 more on plug and a trout at 15 inches. switched to minnows up a creek i found and landed one more red 21 incnces. All released healthy. What a great day and cant wait to get on em ahgain. fished 4 hours and didnt wanna come in. Nice to put my own boat on some fish. Love it here!! Trying to load pics on here but wont let me. trying to figure out
That’s a great start!

Nice work…did a little topwater action on sunday…been a topwater addict ever since I got a boat with a trolling motor on it
