Last year the water level at the lake of Donald & Kiefer was so high that you had to launch up near the concession stand as the
parking lot was all under water. It was absolutely shocking when I arrived and saw how low the water was. I cannot explain it....
but anyone who made it out to the lake had to be shocked also. Off to another later start as I got to the lake close to 7:30am
and unloaded everything into my kayak and was just about to take off and realized I left my phone in my truck. I ran back to
get it and searched for it and then realized it was actually sitting on top of my trucks hood near the front window so I shut the
door and locked my keys inside. Called Deb and she had to drive all the way up to the lake to bring me my spare keys.
That was a major bummer for the morning that threw my off as far as trying to concentrate on fishing waiting for her
and thinking about how stupid I was.
Anyway.....lots of float tubes and kayaks and seems most of them were crappie fishing.
It was a whole different lake that everyone seemed to be in talking distance of each other. It was crazy!
Anyway..missed a couple bites, had a bass on for 5 seconds and it came unbuttoned, and was able(thank goodness) to pick
up a couple bass. A dink and a 3 1/2 pounder....which was one of the only highlights of a tough morning and of course
chatting with @Mcfish and @Fisheromen is always fun.

If the lake keeps getting lower and lower, the float tubers and guys in kayaks soon will all be fishing in a giant
puddle....and be all on a first-name basis ...ha ha
