The group trip to Cody Ranch was a huge success.  We put names to faces and got to fish a great property.  We were averaging over 20 fish a day out of my boat and that was specifically targeting the big fish.  Cory, Marty and I got to swap fishing advice and ended up learning quite a bit from each other.  While we didn’t get a wall mounter, we caught a lot of really healthy, chunky fish.  The water temps were still pretty cold ranging from 52 degrees in the morning and up to 60 degrees in the heat of the day.  The fish were biting just about anything.  Spinner baits, weightless plastics, swim baits and Texas rigged plastics probably did the best.  We rounded out the experience with a great fish fry.  Zach and Paul really stepped up to the plate and prepped close to 100 pounds of fish.  Chris was a whiz in the kitchen getting the sides lined up and kept the top shelf margaritas coming.  Richard caught the largest fish of the trip with a 5.7 pounder on Twin Lakes North.  I think we are already discussing a fall trip to go get some topwater action.

Paul Milwood was the group fish cleaning guru!

Chris Casner kept the margarita glasses full, and the sides ready for the fish fry!

The whole group minus Cory Marver (Jackson Bean took the picture) about to chow down!
