started the day slow waking up around eight and got stirring me the ole lady and the youngins wanted to enjoy the day outside so I loaded the boat with my fishing stuff and supplies to keep them busy and we headed out at about eleven. we arrived at the lock one launch with the beautiful conditions to find only one other truck at the launch which is a plus for me ... canal to myself lol ..... started the day off at the spill with the kids and to my surprise picked up two chunky bass fishing a square bill in the running water (natural shad color) meanwhile the kids caught a few perch and a bunch of tree limbs, but I love getting the kids out and enjoying the outdoors. at about 1:30 i decided to load um all back in the boat and hit a few of my spots on the canal I usually catch at took a short run up towards lock two and began throwing that same crank and withing the first five cast boated a solid 2lber off the grass line. we kept a steady pace throwing and reeling down the grass line I managed to pick up my limit of nice bass and one pretty large chain pickrell all on the square bill by 3:30 we started our ride back to the truck with a good day behind us the kids had a blast playing with the fish in the live well I had a blast catching the fish the only down fall was the ole lady didnt get to boat a bass but kept her spirits high and I can say she enjoyed her day too! Any day on the water with the family is better than a day at work or stuck in the house, glad to see some nicer bass coming out of the lock and some nicer weather .
