No Joy Today - Lake Lavon @ Brockdale Park - June 7, 2008

No joy today at Brockdale Park. Trolled with White Crappie Jigs with no hits. Strong wind made it tough to fish. Factoring the wind and time of day - around Noon, may explain why we did not hook up. Going to have to give it a try later once the wind dies down. Checkout DFW Fishing News for more fishing information. Click-on DFW Fishing News.
