While it was Election Day and the kids were off school we decided to take them up to Elkhorn Creek at Cardome.

The day started slowly and there was lots of plant growth in and around the pool below the small dam near the bridge (for those who know the area).

There were two guys in a boat about 50 yards to my left and they seemed to be finding the going slow too. Eventually the day picked up and I cleared ten fish in total while my daughter got two mid-size bluegills.

I had some nice bluegills and sunnies along with a 9"crappie and three young largemouths, the largest of which measured 13".

Considering we basically just fish using the float + nightcrawler method from the bank we had a very enjoyable time at Elkhorn today!
