"Another Crappie Day" or "The Old Dog and the Sea"

Is that Mr. Peabody?

I hit the Lake again, this time with a different companion.  Bentley is always anxious to go somewhere and seemed pretty excited to check things out on the lake.  I went in the afternoon and the pits were crowded as a major bass tournament was wrapping up.  Launching the boat took some extra skill, but I have to say I've gotten pretty proficient at it by now.  I headed down the New towards the Dam to fish the East Shore.  Bluegills on a worm came easy and I quickly caught a couple dozen of the, but it was pretty hot and the beagle looked rather taxed.  I gave him some water and headed up the Bluestone River to find some shade and see what else we could get into.  I caught a few more bluegills and noticed a few bass and several large carp up shallow.  I started throwing a spinner in an attempt to catch one.  I had no takers, but I did manage to catch a pretty nice white crappie.  After that we headed back only to try again another day.
