We headed up to Kerr Lake a few days. The weather, doctor appointments, and work schedules screwed up Debbie's usual Birthday Lake Week. Here's a few videos, pics, and a little info....

Check out the big fish on the Garmin, at about 12 feet down. You can see others, but we've named this fish "Leroy". He's in this area, every time we pass through.
We were seeing lots of bait fish down around 20'...
Wow, it's kinda windy out here, today....
We were seeing bait fish down around 20', and catching large mouth bass that were feeding on them.
After spending the evening up at Pink Hill, we heading back to the houseboat. Wind had picked up ahead of an incoming storm front, and it was ROUGH!
Deb and I have been running hard in the heat, and headed to the Houseboat a few days to play. I reloaded a few fishing reels, caught a bunch of fish, and played on the beaches with a friend. I'm getting closer to having a working ham radio station up and running on the boat.
Here's a pic of the High Sierra motorized antenna on the houseboat. It allows operation on ham bands 80 through 6 meters by adjusting resonance via motorized drive to change physical length and inductance of the loading coil.
Working on repairing baits, new batteries in the fish scale, and new line on a few of the reels...
It started getting a little nasty on Friday evening.
I caught the 4 fish above on this deep dive bait, standing on the dock. This bait works about 17' to 20' down. It cranks down fast, rises slow...
The next group above were caught on Saturday morning, about 7am to 9:30 am. The last bait consistently picked up blue cats...we switched back to the deep diver previously shown.
Next, Laura came up and we headed to the beach to play for the day.
Afterwards, we headed back to the houseboat...
Debbie picked up a nice bass as we rolled back into the marina cove ..
Next, we got up on Sunday morning to do a bit of fishing...
Debbie's catch on Sunday was the best of the weekend, at 2lb 10oz.
Sunday eve, we cleaned up the boat and closed it up, took showers, and headed to George's in Henderson for a nice dinner.
