I hadn't taken my boat to Ray Hubbard since 2014, so I hooked up with Todd and Pat for a morning of fishing there. We started about 6:45 AM and fished to about 12:15 PM. The early morning bite has been on top-water action, and we found some of that at Robertson Point and the Jetty. My trolling motor failed to work, so we had to try and stay on them with the big motor going upwind and drifting through. We managed to catch 16 legal whites, a few dinks and one hybrid before the surface action ended.

After that, we started checking structures going down the west side managing only a crappie, then across to the east side and back up the lake. We finally found some fish on a point in 23 fow and sat there and caught 36 more sandies many going 12 to 14 inches. That finally slowed, and we started checking other structures but didn't find any more. We caught the fish on tail-spinners and #2 and #4 Mepps. Here are some pics:

Awesome job DC and Hubbard boys, pat and Todd! You had some good guides this morning Dennis to show ya around. Fun day of catching for sure.

Very nice Dennis, looks like it was a great trip. I didn’t catch any fish today at work.

Making the best of a bad situation !

Great company Great job!

That was fun Dennis, and my 1st trip in 5 weeks. Thanks! We did great for no TM and the minnKota SPT "auto deploy" "stow" and "spot lock" (me me) work to perfection! Lol

Whose is bigger pic lol

Todd do you bring Dennis SPT special Sammies?

Haha. With this new abnormal called covid, no sammies or eggrolls
I can make Larry fetch sticks and do roll over with eggrolls.

I forgot to mention that Todd substituted for my trolling motor - putting in and pulling out my anchor numerous times as we set up on structures. The bicep and lat exercises were free of charge.

Good job guys!

it was great to be out with Dennis and Todd and I learned new tricks from the Mepp's Master himself. Thanks for the invite guy's

I know well just how to do those, here I just finished a plumbing job and all I thought of was that 1 fish Friday hitting my whopper plopper missed it 1st and came back a 2nd time, neighbor here talking to me and I did not pay any attention to them just that fish! and hoping the hooks held and did not bend. All was ok and not 1 drop of a leak afterwards. Disposal and all under sink redone.

Good times.

way to go guys. some of the best trips are when things go wrong and you can salvage some good catches. Maybe use Todd's Bluewave, his is new and fancy!

Haha Tim. Pat and I offered to take our boats but DC preferred the good ole manual anchor and that requires skills in positioning the boat over fish on windy day. DC got many mad skillz for sure!
