Another beautiful morning at the GOMH.  After I hadn't caught anything in the initial half hour I just stood up on the bridge and observed things for about 20 minutes before resuming fishing.  Some shiner minnows moved in on the South side and I caught 5 of them.  4 went in the bucket.  I didn't think to put the first one in the minnow bucket and then transfer it to the Clam Pail.   I caught the jumper on the NE side on a white crawtube.

Evening Trip:
7:00-9:00PM Bulldog
9:30-11:00PM GOMH SE (With Lantern Man, LMS & friend)
Conditions: 74-68℉, Partly Cloudy, Calm to light NE wind
9.25" THE Jig/maggot
6" THE Jig/wax
The action at Bulldog wasn't exactly furious, but it kept me entertained.  I only got the 1 crappie, which ended up going back.  All the sunfish were small but a single 8 incher.  I got 16 sunnies and the 1 crappie before I bailed to the GOMH.

Lantern Man was down on the SE side and his son with a friend were on the SW side.  They had all missed a few bites.  I went down with LM.  I lost my first couple of bites including something more substantial than a silver bullhead.  I ended up getting my first silver bullhead of the year but didn't get a picture.  I ended up getting 5 silvers all of which went to LM.  Some of the buoy's in Sulivan Lake have blinking lights on them.  Buoys aren't in Platte yet. I should have stayed later because it was so nice out and when I got home TV and internet were both down.  I forgot my lantern. Lantern Man brought it by the house on Sunday afternoon.
