I didn't wake up right away, but I did eventually. Was pleasantly surprised that no one was there. I started on the SW side and wasn't getting much. I went up on the bridge and popped the silver while fishing on the SE side, so I moved my stuff over there. The Asian guys showed up for about an hour and then left when no silvers would show themselves. I got the toothy while trying for dogfish. The only bite I got on the crawtube. I would occasionally catch a jumpin' bullhead. I did have a small jumpin' bullhead run straight into the cattails, somehow I got it out. I did try for oranges for a bit, but just got one small jumper on T.H.E. Jig; After I landed the fish I thought the better of what I was doing. Didn't want to lose my jig and Rocket Bobber. It was nice out and nobody showed up to fish so I just stayed there until Dad called wanting the car.

I arrived at the GOMH as Peter W. was spooling up. There was one other car there. A guy and chick fishing on the SW and SE sides. After talking for a couple of minutes I went down on the NE side. Peter joined from the bridge and immediately caught a jumper. His first open water fish of the year. It was apparent things weren't happening on this side so I went and fished off the bridge on the SE side. The guy said they had been getting a few jumpers and one small golden. The gal who was fishing on the SW side would occasionally bring in a jumper and one nice orange. The guy caught 1 jumper. Peter joined me. The Foul-Mouthed Grumpy Old Man showed up said it was too cold and left. I brought in a couple of jumpers. Another older guy showed up just to talk. Four guys showed up. Peter left and the new Conservation Officer for the area showed up (CO A-Net) and checked licenses. Right as A-Net showed up one of the 4 guys caught the first silver off of the bridge on the SW side. The guy went over to fish the SW side. I went down on the SE side. The one guy started landing a silver every couple of minutes. I started getting some alternating keepers and non-keepers. The guy and girl only landed a couple. It got dark enough that I switched to the lighted bobber Glow Demon rod, but the fish had shut off. Everybody left. I was going to pull up stakes, but right then Lantern Man showed up. I figured if he started smashing them I would just go and join him and stayed put. It was dead. LM missed a couple of bites. He got a fish around 10:30PM or so. At about 10:40 we both got one. That was it. I got cold and was hungry and left a little after 11PM
