Well, I have not posted for a long time because I felt uncomfortable with some of the postings - mainly those that focus on criticizing people.

I went out for the first time and fished for 2 hours. Got 4 hits but was too slow on the first 3. The fourth, I set the hook and found a beauty at the end of my line. Took me only 5 minutes to land it with the help of my buddy.

Water was nice and I fished the bottom end..near Lickman and down. Went out today but did not touch anything at all. The water was still nice but not sure if it will hold as the rain was coming down!!!
