Yep, It was a bummer to get to the lake only to be told to leave. Last week when I stopped by the ranger was a friendly as you could possible ask for and very helpful, except for the new park hours. On Saturday night we got the Grouch that stold christmas. He did say that the hours were to change in a few weeks. Once we got to West lake over by dugger we were shooting pretty good for first night out. At one point were 6 fish in the boat for 7 shots. Of course I had the only miss. And being a first night out, we had light problems too. I tried my new 'Hog light' for a bit. I think it would work ok on clear water or down at the kydam where the fish are on top. But in cloudy water it just does not have the eumph to get down through the water. well later...
