This looks suspiciously like a personal ad. ;)

Have fun out there. Let us know if the water has cleared up. Last I heard, it was muddy and pouring over the spillway.

Now that you mention it...that doesn't sound too PG does it...LOL :D

I went over there this afternoon to set up camp and the water was pure chocolate milk and the water is wayyyyyyy up....Oh well I suppose we could still go for the bass and walleye.

We are back....The carp are flopping everywhere and they are VERY shy when you approach them.....Guess they are modest...LOL ;)

We did end up sticking some bigguns...16, 20, 13, and some misc little males......Did have one of the big ole fat ladies decide to redecorate everything on the deck when she emptied all of her eggs!..

By the time we left the visibility was around 4-5ft in some areas....However it is IMHO better during the day. You just have to see them flopping then get up speed and coast in...

Wow....thanks for the encouragement there buddy....:)

Yea, I thought about the citation but did not get a pic of the scale nor did I measure....

Oh well...It was fun as all get out anyway!
