Actually went out to Martha with no luck on the 22nd, but I got to try out my new float tube. Tried for bass towards end of the outing,but initally tried trolling lures with no luck. Also flies on sinking line. Got into weeds too much.

Ok, for the 23rd, I went to sink tip and a black carey. About 10 minutes down the lake from the boat launch, I got a tremendous strike. Wham!!!! 10 minutes later I landed my first ever German Brown which topped out at 15 inches, but fought like over 20 inches! Got a small rainbow planter later on with same setup. I also tried casting flies towards the shore at one location, but risers wouldn't take my careys. I need to come back with floating line and chirominids.
