Lake Babcock is not a big lake by any means. It's a mere 300 acres. In fact, you're not allowed to use a gas-powered motor. Captain Debbie Hanson had an electric trolling motor and oars to get us from one tried and true spot to the next. The bite was tough. A cold snap had just moved through. Even the gators were lethargic. We were using my favorite baits that I use back home in Nashville on Percy Priest when the bite is tough- a Yamamoto Senko and the trusty Ned Rig. (Quick side note about the ...

"I could hurt just as much sitting at home trying to choose between one TV show or one movie I've already seen or what-have-you OR be in the same amount of pain but go out and experience trying to catch a fish, listening to the eagles, watching a deer, looking at loons, just watching leaves and listening to the wind or the rustle of corn leaves or the flow of grass. Those seem like small things, but in my life they're huge." -Allison Roberts If you have physical challenges that have been holding...

You're covered head to toe in UV protective clothing to avoid getting sunburned on top of the sunburn you already have from the fishing outing a couple of days earlier (lesson learned the hard way!).
