Nice fish, great job. To truly enjoy catching Springers is at Barrier Dam, my suggestion check the USGS water level before going out there. I like the water level between 7000 fps to 9000 fps. Use long Spinning Rod ( at least 12' or longer), 8-17lbs Med / Heavy. Fish bobber style, from your bobber stopper to your hook should be about 10' long. Since you have a boat; launch below the dam and come up thee other side, it's much easier fishing. I have a 13'6' custom built rod with a Shimano Sustain 4000FG with 40lbs braided main line and 25lbs Mono as the leader line. Good luck
