Yeah, that was me up there. I picked up one nice 16" smallie right out of the boat dock and another on the way back that was maybe 12". I floated almost to the end of the northwest bay along the west side and other than a few minutes of playing with some carp in submerged brush the only two bites I got all day were the two smallies, both came on curltail grubs. My fishfinder read the temp all the way up to 54 degrees by the time I left around 3:30. The wind picked up pretty heavy around 2:30 and made it a little interresting to get back in. Sure was exciting to finally get to see the infamous swamp yankee in person.
