My boat was on charge today and I had to run by SW to replace a rod that got broke so I thought I would run by the dam to try it out . 2nd cast caught a spot on a rage craw . Still alot of current moving through the turbines . Caught a few more spots on the craws . Then started throwing a tube . I wanted to catch a sm . I haven't caught many since I started fishing again and never caught any growing up cause all we fished for then was bream lol ! Caught a couple more small spots on the tube and then WHAM ! Something nailed it ! Got it in and it was my pb smallie ! Didn't weigh it and don't think it measured either but it was the biggest I've ever caught and it put up a great fight ! After a couple hours the rain came and I headed . Broke the new rod in good . No keeper spots but alot of action and I was happy after my skunk yesterday ! I lost two keepers yesterday and that was it ! My girlfriend caught 1 on a lizzard and that was it . She whooped me yesterday lol ! Lake was still really rough yesterday and I was busy battling with the trolling motor to stay in position , something I'll have to get use to ! Still fun out on the water though !
