Comments:

It was my weekly fishing outing with Ben, and I had also invited Matt along. Matt is a co-worker from West Salem, I call him Buzz Bait Matt on account he likes to throw a buzz bait all the time.
Fishing was not good tonight. We hit quite a few spots in a very short time period and unfortunately I caught all the fish. The only spot we really had any consistency was the stump fields on the west side. This area not only had a few bass, but it was also filled with carp!

Observations:

Most trees have leafed out, except for my sumac in the back yard and walnut trees around the area.
