Today's Fishing Report- "My New Secret Bait"

I decided at the last minute to go down to the lake fishing. My excuse was to check on the fire my father had set burning brush. Like a good son, I went to make sure it was out. Suprisingly my nephew already beat me to the lake house. He was studying for an exam, while swinging on the outdoor swing. He had even fished some himself earlier, but didn't have much luck.

I on the other brought along my new secret bait, that I was dying to try out. I made 10 cast without it to began with and got just one hit. Then I started using the secret bait. I got scattered strikes every other cast, then I was getting strikes ever cast. I then started landing fish. I showed my nephew what I was using and he laughed, but he didn't laugh long, because the next fish (which I lost right at the doce)weighed a good one and half pounds, which is a nice size for a crappie. There was stretch I was a fish with every cast. There was one large fish that literally jumped out the water to grab hold of the lure, just as I was pulling it out the water. I missed that one, but I was convinced it was my new secret bait. I ended up catching around 25, before it got dark on me. Most all were in the half pound range. It was a lot of fun. I believed my new secret bait would work and it did. Maybe there truth to the law of attraction and belief. I already believed in my mind driving down, that I was going to catch fish. I caught all of them within one hour's time. I even took time out to help my nephew with some questions. He returned the favor and took the pictures you see posted here. I did call my son to gloat a little and tell him about my new secret bait. We will put it to further test this Saturday. I'm sure by the end of the day, I will have new convert to the "secret bait".
