Another beautiful day on the water! My son Ben is home on leave from Okinawa. He is a Seargent in the Marine Corps and will be stationed at Camp LeJune when he goes back in 30 days. Ben and our friend Sammy fished together today on a long awaited trip. We fished in Mud Creek and man did we have a ball!!! We caught 21 fish, the best 5 weighed 27 lbs. We caught all of them on lipless and shallow cranks and spinnerbaits in 3 to 5 ft of water. The most productive colors were gold and red. I am looking forward to several more of these outings before Ben goes back.Be Safe and God Bless, Jim Burks
