Our league lakes are chosen by random draw and the first Thursday night ended up being Eagle Lake. I only point this out because I don't remember ever fishing Eagle for league so early in the season. I was happy it worked out that way because its always fun to fish lakes at different times than normal. The turnout was a little bit lower than the previous night with 14 teams competing. Most reported catching a number of fish although some said it was as tough as they had ever seen the lake. There were some substantial weights brought in though.
My dad and I started on what most people consider to be the best stretch of docks on the lake but right away it just didn't seem right at all. We only ended up staying for about 10 minutes before heading to the extremely shallow water on the south end of the lake. On the 3rd dock we fished down there we put our limit of 3 fish in the boat. One of them was about 3 3/4 lbs but the other 2 were small. We continued down the shoreline fishing every dock and catching a fair number of fish but most were in the 2 lb range. Every once in awhile we would hook into one over 3 lbs but we only ended up catching 3 fish over 3 lbs for the night. All of our fish came on green pumpkin red/green flake Strike King Bleeding Bait tubes. Our limit weighed in at 10.53 lbs which was good for 3rd place. 1st place was again Tim and Grant with a massive 13.44 lb limit, 2nd was Wayne and Brad with 10.92 lbs, and 4th was Scott and Al with 10.07 lbs. The big fish for the night was caught by Tim and Grant and weighed in at 4.95 lbs.
