Nice sunset Picture Deano, Did you catch anything worth bragging about ? Anyone else's eyes watering from the smoke ? Something is raising heck with my eyes , I'm thinking it must be the smoke.

Ended up with around ten crappies between the two of us and a couple eyes. I didn't fish all that much since still sore from surgery but my buddy switch one rod over to a lindy the last half hour and I think the longest it was out was maybe five minutes. Not sure how many eyes he got but it was a pretty good amount but they were all drinks at around 10 to 12 inch fish. I made the best timed statement of the day saying I'm shocked a pike hasnt destroyed my bobber yet right when I was speeding reeling it to get it over the shallow rocks. I had not even finished the statement when a large pike nailed the bobber. When I saw the bobber I had flashback to when Rapala's where made of wood because my bobber was trashed with three big tooth marks and a bunch of it cracked. All in all the bite was decent and the weather and scenery were awesome so it made for a nice night. Also got a few white bass and one smallmouth. The boat in the pic was doing fairly well pitching up into around 2 feet of water and my buddy's lindy was in no more then 3 so definitely up shallow.

i suggest a fire smoke tax. we need to tax every tree so they stop emitting these pollutions into our air. the haze raises hell with my eyes too. davey
