Thought I would give American another go this morning. Not a lot of action, and not a lot of decent markers on the H-bird. Wind started picking up from the South and I nailed this 15 incher on my wa...

Three nice trout today trolling. No Kokes but what a nice day. All fish hit at 20-22 feet. Fish hit on spinners behind Dodgers and sling blades tipped with maggots.

Launched around 0700, was flipping Green Senko's weightless and caught about 5 largies anywhere between 0.5-2.5lbs. Saw some much bigger ones but they were very elusive.
