Well Boys here's the story,
For about the last 10 years we've had Trot-lines in Richland Chambers Res. My Uncle and I take the family down every year and bait and run lines for about a week every spring. For the last 2x years the lake has been to low to run our lines, we actually were pretty sure they wouldn't even be there when we finally got the chance to go back for them.
Well, the lake is back to full pool, I mailed Uncle Butch a new trot-line and he went down to put out a couple of new lines. To our amazement the old lines were not only still there one had a 70lb yella on it. Butch baited out the lines a few times and caught a few fish, 1 in the 60's and a few in the 20's and 30's.
This year we bought a new to us Suburban and don't have the money to make the week long trip. So, When Butch found out we was coming down for Mothers day and wanted to make a run to the lines he went out and baited them up.
This morn we went out and ran our lines, and we had a few fish on. We had a half a dozen small blues from 1#-4#s and a couple of nice Yella's one went 40lbs and the other went 75lbs.
We didn't take pics of the small fish but here are a few of the other pics we took.
Enjoy.......
This is me getting ready to run lines.
