Hit the lake with my new boat today but the skunk stayed on. Left the down riggers at home, and that I fell was a real mistake. But after reading the last few weeks reports of lots of fish caught on ...

Great day on the lake. Tried everything in the boat with no luck. They should have been there.
Will get them next time. First report, hope the next one is a little more exciting.

Had a free afternoon and some sunshine so decided to give Goodwin a try for some SMB. Didn't quite work out the way I wanted. The wind picked up so it was very tough to drift over rocky points, and ar...

Well, technically the rating should only be a 2, but since the fish I caught was a PB Smallmouth at 3.35# it was well worth a 3 to me! Hit Lake Goodwin about 5:30pm and worked our way around the lake....
