Ben called a little before lunch Monday and invited me to go fishing at one of his lakes at Blackhawk. We first went to his spot at 5 or 6 pines, I can’t remember which. His house is situated on a high point above a nice large lake. Beautiful setting. After leaving his dog we proceeded down the road a few miles to his wife’s family property where there are two more lakes. After we launched the fish were biting. Thunder was in the area which cooled things off. Ben had a Bandit flat max and a worm on and I had a DT 6 and a large worm on. We were keeping the small fish and they were really cooperating. After a while, a thunderstorm chased us to the truck where we rested for 30 minutes. The rain cooled things off and made it most pleasant fishing. Fishing started back with Ben catching a 6 1/2 on his Bandit. There have been some big fish caught in that lake, one over 10 at least. When we finished there were over 20 fish in the box and we had released 3 over 5 pounds along with some others. What a great afternoon of fishing !
