Went to Lake Wilson in Portland Arkansas this morning early. It was my first time there. It falls straight down off the bank to 10 feet and from there on has a generally flat bottom. The water was clear with a two foot visibility. The lake is high and a lot of greenery is in the water. It was just right for a top water but there were no takers. I had heard that they could be caught on a big red worm so I tried one of those next. When that got no action I pulled out the trusty Booyah spinner bait. After about two hours and no bites one finally hit the spinner bait and went sideways. Due to my laziness of not retying the line, the line snapped. How disgusting ! To add insult to injury, while I was putting on a new bait, the fish jumped out in the open water trying to  throw the bait – – twice. The fish was not large just judging by the splash, maybe 3 pounds maximum. I picked up Sam at the landing at 10:30. We fished until about 1:30 not catching anything else, although Sam hooked a small one that escaped and had another to snap his line on the hookset. The sun came out and it began to get hot so we retreated to a short repair job to the boat trailer and  the air conditioning. The treat of the day was sighting a couple of bald eagles and a pair of black bellied whistling ducks.
