Fishing Report for October 10, 2010
Hey Senior J.C. I caught this for me! Come get yours!
Bennie sent this photo to Mrs. Lynn and said please senora let J.C. come down and help me get the camp open. Each year we work very hard to make improvements to the camp and I need J.C.. (PS send Money). Well enough of that. Mrs. Lynn is glad to get me out of her hair for a few days and besides that the truth is Benny wants to try redeeming himself after that whooping I put on him last year. But regardless of who catches the most fish Benny is a great man and I always enjoy being with him as I know you will also when you come to camp. I always look forward to not only catching 100 Bass a day or more but also catching a larger Bass each trip.
Again this October Fish TV will be doing a show with us to broadcast this season. Last year we got into large schooling bass in 60 to 100 feet of water. The smallest fish we caught out of that school was 4 pounds. Most of them ran from 5 to 8 pounds With a 12 pounder being lost. I know it will be a great show so do not miss it. .
Also, we hope you will take advantage of the current and last special for the season which ends on Oct 15th. That is 5 days from now. So call Lynn and make your reservation for your trip of a life time. Book by October 15th. do not let this special pass you by!
