Roofer Billy Report post Posted Thursday at 04:57 PM Took the day off yesterday. Been a rough couple weeks with Dad being ill. He's home now and doing okay. So I went to talkalai lake. Left Surprise at 4 am. Got to Superior and hit a detour. Yikes. 71 miles total one way . Finally got to the lake and not another boat or person anywhere . Fished from 830 am to 545pm. Caught 13 Bass and 11 crappie. Biggest bass was just over 6# and crappie all ranged around 2 to 2.5. Absolutely gorgeous day and one of the most peaceful days I've had in years. All alone and nothing but Time to reflect on life. I'm very thankful to God ,for the Blessing He gave Me yesterday. And the fact I still have a Dad who is alive. And hopefully be cathing his own 6 pounder soon. Crappie breaded with Marie calenders cornbread mix and Homemade Corn fritters with fresh coleslaw tonight for dinner. 😋 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roofer Billy Report post Posted Thursday at 08:06 PM No just drifted with two 1/8 oz jig heads with chartreuse and black on one and dark purple with gold flakes in it. The purple was there favorite color. I missed several because I was concentrating on Bass mostly. Minnows and a bobber work fantastic there. Going back for 10 days April second thru the 12 th. Probably will try San Carlos too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roofer Billy Report post Posted Thursday at 08:58 PM Yes I believe 15 or maybe 12 horse or less. The North ramp is the best. 2 miles of dirt road pretty bumpy at times just go real slow. Really cool lake kinda hidden and out of way. Night bite from mid April to about the end of October is excellent. For crappie. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
