  Well, I certainly hope you guys missed me, otherwise, why the hell did I come back from vacation? Went to Conchas Lake and did some fishing for a few days, and caught a whopping 2 perch that could have been twins. Make that triplets, because my oldest son and my nephew caught the third one right on the surface with our net. My 2 year old caught his first fish(with some help from dad and his cousin), a baby catfish that, even though it was a baby, outweighed both my perch put together.
And I did have a pretty good sized bass that I at least got to the surface before he spit the hook out, and he went one way and the hook and worm went the other way. Oh well, had fun and family time, and that is really what it was all about. And not catching any fish meant I didn't have to clean any fish, which is always a good thing.
Anyway, and this is totally unsolicited, if you ever go to Conchas, I highly recommend you stay at Adobe Lodge. It used to be housing for the Corps of Engineers when they were building the dam, and now someone has bought it and turned the duplexes into lodges. Very, very nice. Very close to the North marina and a great view of the lake. Check them out. Two thumbs WAY up!
