That's the one you showed us pictures of the launch ramp, correct? Looks like a nice lake.

Fred - sounds like you ran into a bunch of contrarian fish! Least you didn't get skunked! Truth be told, I'd still rather have the kind day you did than a 9 to 6 grind!

I lost more fish today than I usually catch, unbelievable. First 2 Largemouth jumped at the boat and threw the hook! First fish in the boat was a Rocky. Finally got a 1.5 LM in the boat at the guarantee tree . Next bite was a Snot Rocket at the brushpile, who also jumped off at the boat, ok by me. I tried some new wood and hooked a nice fish that dove into the sunken tree and got hung up. After 5 minutes of trying to get her out I wrapped the 10lb braid around my pliers and tried pulling her out but the braid broke at the pliers. Went back to the guarantee tree, and hooked another bass who dove into the tree and broke the 8lb leader. Went to the northwest shore on my way to the ramp. Found lots of fish but the first 2 LM pulled the same stunt as earlier, jumping at the boat and throwing the hook. I managed to catch a 1.5lb Smallie , and just as it started to sprinkle caught the fish of the day, a 2.75 LM. A very frustrating day, but lots of action anyway, capped off with unpredicted rain.....

Good day in my book. Enjoyed seeing your smile progress as the catch got better & better. Good results even with the spitters trying to discourage you. Well done, Bro.

Pretty good action for you but I know that feeling when it seems like many fish "get away" before reaching the boat! Glad you did catch some nice ones!

I was out yesterday morning in the kayak and caught some bass...but had a beautiful lake trout get off right beside me. It was going home with me for lunch until the hook popped out!
