Got up and hit the lake before the 4th of July circus arrived at the lake. As it turns out, I didn't have much time. Once the wake-boarders with their electronica music cranked, the water skiers, and ...

First time at Goodwin.
Got there about 5pm. Lots of boats and water sports going on plus some wind, made it interesting to maneuver the little boat around. Didn't catch anything of great size but...

I really should spread out to a different lake, but this lake just keeps producing nice meated (is that a word?) fish for the smoker. I was on the water again by 7, lines in by 7:15. Looked like there...

Back again to my favorite lake. Arrived as the Ranger was opening the gate at 7am. Lines in the water about 7:30ish. Terrible morning weather wise. Rain most of the time, and worse for me, wind. No fu...

Well, I was hoping to hit this lake before the smallmouth got to far along in their spawn and I was close. Water temps I found were 59-62*. The fish are definitely bedding up and while that's a bummer...

Got a late start....hit the water about noon. Nicest day we have had in awhile so getting out was more the objective than loading the stringer. Put a Doc Sprately on about 30" from a small orange/re...

Spent a couple hours at Goodwin this morning. First thing I noticed is that Wenberg Park raised the launch fee from $7 to $10. Didn't mark any fish and didn't get any action at all. Wx was pretty goo...
