I got my wife and second oldest boy up at 5:30am and got to lake by 6:45am. It didn't take us long to get launched and start heading north to bird island. But after about a mile it went from smooth to really choppy. So we turned around around and went to the BS. We fished there for 45 minutes or so and only had 2 bites no hookups. So I took us over to in front of the old boat launch area in front of the orchards. Nothing but a couple of aggressive hits but again no hookups. So we went back over towards the BS and trolled 0.8 mph east and 1.1 mph back west just as we were going to give up so I could get back home to my father, I got a hookup. I got that fish in the boat and was trying to get the hook out when the second rod went bendo. My wife reeled in this one which is her first fish this year measuring 23.5". Mine was 26" no bumper. That ended our day the last 2 minutes we got a double which was cool but man it was slow. But nice too get boat out
