Got a late start, put on about 1200. Went straight to the normal winter sweet spot trolling on the east shore with flat fish. M picked up only one skinny 14" brownie. We decided to book down to the far north end. Tried fly fishing near the mouth of the creek but ended up giving it up for bottom fishing and beer drinking. M dropped his hook about 20 minutes before me (I had more beer to drink ... uh I mean patience with the fly rod). 2 minutes on the bottom for me with an old jar of spring green power bait nuggets and I hooked a nice 20 inch brown. Unfortunately that was all we got, however I won the size contest for the day. It was fun to rub in that size does matter and mine was bigger! Ha Ha. Tight lines -- M&D fishers.
