We got there about noon Friday. Fished until 5:30. My partner and I caught 1 short bass. My good friend Spankey and his partner found some fish in Salt Springs. The four of us went there Saturday morning.............................Along with about 200 other boats. The fog was so thick you couldn't run. We were in the middle of a parade of about 30 boats idling up the creek. My partner and I stayed in there, dodging boats and baits, until noon. We had caught 6 shorts by then. There is a 14" minimum size limit in that part of the state. Every fish we caught was between 13.5" and 13.75". My partner and I went back to where we caught all the fish last year. Not a bite.
We weighed in at 4:00 Saturday. Spankey and his partner had a 5 fish limit that totaled about 14 pounds, the largest fish being just under 5 pounds. No one else had a keeper.
We went back to Salt Springs Sunday morning and stayed there until the 1:00 weigh in. Spankey and his partner caught 2 keepers that totaled 4.2 pounds. We caught 5 more shorts.
There were 8 of us fishing this trip. Spankey and his partner were the only ones to catch keeper fish. Seems like every time we go to Lake George one boat does all the catching. Last year was my turn.
Damn, it 's shore nuff tuff when you cann't load the boat Oh well, they got 3 months ta grow and get frisky before we go down We had some beutifull Groupa weather here while ya was gone
