[Alphahawk]

My son and I arrived at the Caney about 11:45. We were sitting on a bench and having lunch when a gentleman walked by. He got to almost where my car was and came back and asked "Are you Alphahawk"? I said yes and he introduced himself. His name is Marshall...he is on the forum....very nice gentleman. We talked a while and he had had some success at catching some trout in the morning before the generators started. My son and I were excited to hear he had caught a few nice Bows. We waited about an hour after the generation started and put in our kayaks. This is the first time either of us have ever fished the pond during generation. We did not catch a single trout...LOL. We did however catch about 50 Crappie between the two of us all of them appearing to be in same year class. Nearly all were 12 to 13 inches and thick fish...guessing a little over a pound each. We also caught about 75 Gills between the two of us...most of them in the 7 inch range and very broad shoulders. We did not keep a single fish..LOL. We went hoping to get in on some trout action and had not planned on catching such good Crappie. I also caught a nice Carp....gave me fits on the new line I was trying out....2.9 pound test. It held up well. That fish took quite a while to land....he fought hard. We also observed a man catching a 12 pound Rainbow. Quite a fish.
