First cast @ about 10:30AM near a point. It was breezy along this area so figure I'll start off with the swimbait. I think on the 4th cast, fish on! And it was fighting really good. Ripping drag. ...

First cast at about 10:30. Went all the way up to the NW corner of the lake. There's a spot there that usually holds fish if it's hot out but it is a bit early in the season for it normally. Got th...

I'm a bit conflicted with the rating. Quantity wise, it'll be at least a 4 but quality and pace, I think a 3 is appropriate.
I started off at a deep point that I havent fished all year. Working ...

First cast a bit after 11.
Started off at a deep point that had success in the past but I didn't feel or see any larger fish in the mix of perch.
So went shallow and worked a jerkbait. Ran i...
