Succesful first boating/fishing trip of the season. Got started about 7:30, fimished about 1:30. Got a whole lota nothing until about 11:00 when I stopped trolling to spin cast near shore in front of the city park. First cast there I boated a 12 inch planter. I stayed there for a while, catching two more smaller ones, got other strikes, and one self release at the side of the boat. Then I decided to troll some more and picked up another little one. The money lure was a small silver kastmaster with an orange stripe. You can almost see it in the picture.

I rated the trip only 3 stars because it took me so long to get action, I got rained on some and I forgot my raincoat so got cold. Water temp was about 47. There were several other boaters and a a few bankers.
