Rock Lake - Hit the water with pops in the AM. Beautiful sunny day with light winds for this lake. Surface temp around 41 degrees with the water slightly stained. I have been anticipating this trip as I wanted to try some specific patterns and techniques that were shared with me from a fellow Rock angler I met on here. Ten short minutes after locating our 1st spot we decided to fish I hooked up with a nice fish. She was agressive and had the entire bait in her mouth. After covering some water and blowing through several baits we put it together, well kind of. We kept 8 fish, biggest around 20 inches - a fat male. We lost a half dozen as well. All the others were skinny hens. Lots of trollers on the lake today. Spoke with two other boaters at the launch who caught two fish per boat. One type of lure worked very well for us today, and I think it is likely because these fish have not seen a lot of them. I think we must have lost or broke ten lures today, but it was worth it. If your afraid to use it, don't buy it. Most of the fish we kept were full of baby...............well you know A.A (Thanks Buddy). One fish had three of them in her gut. We will be more prepared our next time out, and scouted a lot of areas we want to fish that we did not get to today. FISH ON!!
