well the lake is starting to clear up. the water has fallen about 6 in from last weekend. the fish were up great just like i figured. went to a flodded field and fish were everywhere. they had the water so muddy you couldnt see worth a darn though. still managed about 40 in 2 hrs with a newbie on board. then we made a little scoot to another hole and watch out. fish everywhere. we would go forward about 2 boat lengths shut of the fan and shoot till we ran out of fish. done that for another 3.5 hrs. broke another new muzzy reel and tore up 3 arrows. we ended up with 167 with roughly 24 buffs and 18 gar. not bad for me and a newbie in5 1/2 hrs. who needs clinton lake? well i will be out of touch till i kill a turkey or thursday. I am off to listen for gobblers in southern IL
