I was really surprised when I clobbered whatever it was. It is not uncommon for logs and tree limbs to enter the lake via SF river but I was a mile of so away from the inlet and in at least 5 fow. UL is known for its muddy and flat bottom almost over the entire lake. I usually never worry about anything unless I see something floating on the surface. The only areas with a high risk of prop damage are the rocks around the springs and the L, and, of course, Bird Island. The "arm" at BI is a real killer for those who are not familiar with it. Some of the worst sounds I have ever heard involved speeding boats attempting to cross "the arm" at Bird Island.
I agree with TD, still a week or so away from fast action. Unusual year. Years past, April and May have been good catch months for me. Kinda envy you guys up north cuz you're doing so well with the early cats. Our time will come.
I didn't plan to enter any of my fish caught today. A 27 incher is a good starter and I would like to al least get on the board. Next time.
One more week....
