Greetings

Took my son who's visiting from Alaska over to Belton for a early evening trip.  We launched the Stratos at Blora and made a run up to the mid lake area.  The weather was 71 dgrs windy & sunny.  The lake is murky to clear depending on your location.  The water temp ranged 64 -66 dgrs depending on your location also.

We made 3 stops Rogers Park, Cedar Ridge Marina and a small cove East of Cedar Ridge Marina.  We boated our 1st fish a White bass 11 3/4 inches long at the bluffs across from the marina.  It was caught on a H20 "woops"y Shad Square Bill.    Our last location was a small cove East of the marina.  We boated a Largemouth 4.50lbs according to the BPS digital scales.  She hadn't spawned yet and was caught in 2ft of water on a 3/8oz Purple Haze KaRue ViberShock.



After releasing her we fired up the Stratos and made the run back to Blora.  It was starting to get late.
