That's huge Grizz, this place is only about 6 miles long until you hit shallow river. The lake portion is only 826 acres.

It comes out of WVa n runs north to Pittsburgh. The river lake is 15/16 miles long. Think you'd like it. I've been upriver as far as I could go with my jet n up to the dam. It's a steep flooded valley.not much shallow water on the river. Has some nice coves points rock walls some feeder creeks some bank brush. Some nice fish there LM and SM eyes cats. Plenty of docks to fish. Bad thing it's 125 miles west of me. Long day by myself. Especially if something happens. 👍👍

I should have guess watermelon. I thought it looked a bit translucent. I'm so use to green pumpkin. Never had much luck with watermelon. Unless I was eating one 😂😂

I tend to have better luck with Watermelon on bright sunny days, June Bug as well. Green Pumpkin with or without flake, and Leach (Black) on overcast days, or in deep shade on sunny days.
That river lake sounds awesome, who knows, maybe I'll come visit next year.

That would be great brother. I like junebug also. One of my favorite senko is natural shad. I've done well with that. I also like bass pro's bass teaser tubes. Like my sq bills. I need to get to lake marburg the one closes to home. The new depth finder should help me figure that lake out. 🤞🤞

We'll see after I get the retirement thing figured out. You gotta get out brother, big water or small, before you know it snow will be flying.

Great photo series and background from your day on the water. Sounds like you ran thru a good "program" to figure it all out and ended up with success. Must be an optical illusion, but a couple of those bronzebacks look like they could tip the scales at 2 lbs? I think you were being modest...and that's OK!

Adjusting to retirement takes awhile but it's not bad 😁. I was just sitting here thinking about going back to the small lake I fished in the spring. I know it holds some good ones but it's tough fishing. Maybe I'll figure it out

Great job Fred!
Love those smallies!
Are you going to map out the entire lake?
Could be on a bucket list.

Thx 4d pics!

Thanks Yaker, I only weighted 3 of them, the bigger ones. It's a new scale,my old reliable one died, and I'm not confident in this one. I'll have to get some certified weights and check it.
