Happy Father's Day to me !!!

I found a place today right near one of my reliable carp haunts where you can wade in about a footof clear rushing water and nail buff after buff as they come up stream towards a spillway. There was also a quiet clear pool up closer to the dam where I could see 6 or 7 at a time. I'd shoot one, and the rest would scatter for a minute while I got him on my stringer, and then they'd be back when I got nocked-up again.

I didn't stay in any one place very long since I was exploring new territory and was hoping to find some gar out near the gravel mounds, but didn't see a single one. If I had gotten out earlier and stayed in the 2 magic spots I found, I could have gotten plenty more.

I got 5buffs (pics to come), which I gave away to some guys going after catfish, and a small carp that I couldn't pay anybody to take (go figure). I ran into a nice big snapper the size of a hubcap who will probably dine on it later if he gets there before the racoons do.

The bank fishermen were cheering so loud whenever I nailed one that I could hear them from a good 70 yards away, even over the white noise of the churningwater. They thought it was quite cool. I think I could have sold about half of them bowfishing setups right then and there.

When I got up this morning, my wife asked me what I wanted to do for Father's Day, and I answered in one word:
"Iwanttogobowfishingbyenowgottagoloadupthecarhoney Iwillseeyouatnoonforlunch." [8D]

The Good Lord saw fit to bless me today with a good peaceful morning of fishing, and a brand new spot to go. Can't ask for much more.
