Well I headed out there and met up with Bulzeye, but he was having generator trouble so he hopped into my rig and off we went. I was slow towards the end but early in the night we were gettin into them pretty good. We ended the night with 15 commons, 11 buffs, 5 gar, and one sucker. It was a good night, we stayed in fish most of the night. Here is a picture. Sorry about the bottom of it, i think my batteries suck but i have changed them twice and still the same result. It may just be the camera. Oh and there is only one gar in the picture because Bulzeye took the other four i could wrestle out of the barrel for his own use.

That was a nice end to a long day for me. Yard work in the morning, then remounting my troller via a quick disconnect plate (thanks for the idea Robow), cleaning 30 years of gunk out of my outboard, getting some bad gass out of my lawnmower, genny, outboard, and weedwhacker. ( I just HAD to fill up my gas cans on the day they were selling liquid engine-stopper.
After that, it was off to Bowman's place where I checked out his new boat that had just been cleaned up after it's maiden voyage (you have to see the woodwork in person to fully appreciate it). We talked about trophyplaque detailsfor the state championship shoot and I got to show off my new troller mount too.
Then off to meet Suckersticker and whack some fish until 2am.
Long day, but productive and enjoyable. Even made it to work on-time with only 2 hours sleep. Still wide awake, even.....ZZzzzzzzz.....
