Able to fish this past weekend at Lake Lavon. Made two trips – Saturday to Brockdale Park and Sunday to Highland Park, and then it rained Monday, so we did not fish but still did fishing related things!
Did learn that Brockdale Park Boat Ramp is now closed due to flooding. Highland Park remains open luckily!
Do checkout the Team updates, and do check back for our follow-up video of Sunday’s fishing and the “Lazy Man Fishing” technique we used later in the day!
Answering the mail from questions that have come in from folks, hope this helps…. do post in the comments if there are more questions.

Still breaking in the new Suzuki 2.5hp Outboard but finally got to go fishing, too! Started out catch bait – Shad, at the boat ramp. Then, ran to a few submerged trees for a chance at Crappie. No luck on the Crappie, so opted to run the motor a little before deciding to anchor in a spot that was out of the wind and fish for whatever was biting. Was a fun time catching dinner at the local lake!
Fishing updates and related activities from the Team! Finally made it to the local lake to run the 2.5hp Suzuki Outboard. So far so good!
A quick upgrade to the old jon boat… seat clamps, padded seat, and a diy tool to tighten the bolts easier.
Really comfortable, plus can move it from the bow to stern seat easily!
