Finally got out

[jbmaine]

Hi everyone,

 As some of you know, this Spring has hit us kind of hard. My wife and I both lost our moms a month apart, and for some time fishing was the last thing on our minds. However, life has started to even out for us, and this last Wednesday we got some fishing in.

 We hit one of our favorite lakes and were surprised and pleased to have just about a perfect morning.

We expected it to be crowded so close to Memorial day, but it was deserted, just us and one other boat on a 1000 acre lake.

The wind has been crazy this Spring, but the lake was a mirror, not a ripple.

Air temp was perfect at 65 degrees

Water temp was 55 degrees and the smallie spawn was just starting.

Water visability was 10 + ft. and we saw fish everywhere.

All and all this was just what we needed , some time on the water, to get us moving forward.

 We even caught some fish!

 Here's a few pics.

What a perfect morning.

A couple of nice smallies 2.5 and 3 lb. even

Thanks for looking

Glad you finally got out and caught some.
