Tuesday 3-13-18 Bull Creek and Dead Lake

Up in the morning I started getting the boat ready for a day on the Dead Lake.  The temps in the morning are in the high 40s so it’s a bit crisp. Our next door neighbors have been catching Blue Gill and Crappy (pronounced Croppy or around here, Specks). 

But first, a quick trip to the IGA in Bunnell for groceries.  Then a stop at the local library to check about public Wi-Fi.  They have it available.  Just walk in and set up at a table.

In the early afternoon we had the boat in the water and took a tour of the lake.  Fishing was not productive.  We had a touch and go visit from a float plane and away it went.

Late in the afternoon we hit the lake again with a little better luck

Linda caught a Blue Gill as the first fish of the trip.  She caught it on a Sipe’s Spinner, Gold-Gold-Red (gold spinner-gold body-red feather).  Then she caught her first ever Crappy with the same spinner.  She was as excited as a six year old.  She out-did me as I only caught one Crappy.  None were keepers so we released them to grow up for next year.

First Dead Lake Fish...Blue Gill

Linda's first Crappy

Our biker neighbors were getting ready for the days adventure.  They are really a cool group.  They helped the lady who had to keep changing sites, relocate every time.   The other day they all came over and we held a mini open house as they were curious about our Boat Tote.
