Awesome.

I'ver been out a few times the past 2 weeks with no luck. Snaging a ton of suckers though.

Finally managed to see a few steelies yesterday which was nice.

It's raining cats and dogs here now (more like sheep and horses).

Might be afew before I can get out again.

Thanks guys!!

lrhuntr, it rained over the lake and here too all night. Completely ruined the fishing for me atleast until tomorrow or Sunday. After doing so well it is rather depressing.

Great catches! Are you floating the spawn sacks under bobbers or just letting them sit off the bottom?
