It's all very time consuming but also gratifying to see improvement and to unhook a good smallie from my winter's work. 1 Quote

I did - my Dad took me out when I was a kid. 4 times I think. Two trips - two summers in a row in the rental boats. The Q was the biggest water I'd been on up to that point. My Dad was a bank beater so that's pretty much all we did. I was 'lost'. Still managed to get a mix of one pound lmb & smb and a few over sized crappie (Calico bass according to Dad) First time I'd used live hellgrammite for bait. A-Jay Quote

Seems like a nice lake, Mr. Wetline certainly does damage up there 1 Quote
