Went to Scofield today. Got there around 4 pm and the wind was blowing like crazy. Let the kids play in the water and finally rigged up their poles at around 6ish. Wind died down at around 7:30 and I decided to soak some garlic powerbait while I started a fire for hot dogs.
Came back and powerbait was still on the hook. I heard lots of good stuff about that garlic powerbait and I've never caught a thing on it, I'm starting to think someone told me that as a joke.
Put on a plastic minnow as I saw some bigger fish thrashing around in the shallows, minnow did no good. Saw lots of mosquitos though, so I switched to a bubble with a fly and that did it. Pulled 2 fish in about 20 minutes, both about 14-15 inches. Was time to go about now, so we came home. Didn't have a cooler for the fish, so all fishies were sent back to be caught another day.
Will probably go back in a couple of weeks for an overnight trip
Sorry no pics, only have film camera.
