How is it? We get out of school Thursday. May be only baseball free weekend until July 4. Thinking of burning a trip with the kids.

Buddy caught a jack by the ice house a few weeks ago. But I know there's been some rain. And more rain coming.

Trying to decide if its worth a trip to put kids on fish, or shrimp.

Or if we stay home and knock out projects and chill.

Its been so damned windy this April and May. Blowing 25 again today. Not many spots to hide from that kind of wind around Big Lake. I've heard mixed reports, with some really good reports mixed in when the weather cooperates.

Yeah. Was seeing lots of good reports before the rain from way up north. Can avoid the wind up north and in hackberry.

Our camp is all the way up by Holbrook so hackberry is a journey!

You ain’t lyin, cancelled a trip for tomorrow because F’n wind.
Probably gusting to 30kts. Trout on reefs at south end of lake but bite is short and fickle. Birds picking but they’re like a lottree ticket, most have hardheads under them.
All the good news I have today.

I've heard good things. Gotta get out there to find out. If weather cooperates, a day on the water with no fish beats a day at home anyway.
