Just curious to know how things went. I know Pleasent Hill was about 6 feet over the ramps. So the ole boat is still on the trailer. 
<br /><br />Glad you had a good time what little you had and if I had been feeling better I would have been there too.<br />Maybe next time or at Watts Bar this year.
<br /><br />gonfishn don't want me to start in on him and Watts Bar <br /><br />We was just wrippin the worm at Lake of the Ozarks.
<br />left at 2am fri. morn and drove through a couple<br />monsoons and tornadoes in PA and OH and arrived<br />at about 8:30 and met musky. the lake had to be<br />4 to 6 feet above normal and looked like a mudbath.<br />weather finally cleared up mid-day fri. and we<br />were able to get out in search of gators. was<br />pretty nice fri. till about 5-6pm when a nasty<br />t-storm came through and shut us down for the<br />rest of the night. spent the eve. eating juicy<br />steaks and havin a few beverages and a lot of<br />good laughs!<br />up early sat. and on the lake by 6am. fishing was<br />tough due to lake conditions and we got skunked.<br />then Brian and his wife came down for lunch and<br />we got to hang out and get to know him and his <br />wife and hear all about their bad puppy...LOL<br />Brian grilled up some tasty brats and we had a <br />great lunch. <br />Brian has the cleanest/purtiest boat I ever saw,<br />even though he only got about 1/2hr on the lake.<br />the people of OH are great, even though their<br />weather is not so good...<br />we tuffed out the rain and fished and it cleared<br />up after about an hour and got hot as hades.<br />water temps was in mid 70's.<br />fished till about 5pm and got skunked... AGAIN!<br />then one of GF's buddy's joined us (skeeter) and<br />we got 3 lines going. fished well after dark...<br />was a beautiful night and the lake was like glass.<br />the only sound that could be heard was skeeter<br />casting this crazy musky lure that looked like<br />a bad jitterbug medical experiment and weighed<br />about 10lbs... everytime he casted, it sounded<br />like a brick hitting the water. I'm convinced it<br />scared away every fish in the bay. I finally gave<br />up and they took me back to camp where I caught<br />a couple plain ol' channel cats from shore.<br />heck, I had to catch at least a couple fish even<br />if they wasn't muskys.<br />so, the weather was treacherous & the fishing was<br />dead as a doornail. on a scale of 1 to 10 I would<br />rate the trip a solid 9 had a great time and<br />met some great folks. 1 gator woulda been nice<br />though.
