Been awhile...

Bet y'all thought it'd be from DP, well, I changed up a little, went freshwater this time, Hemet Lake.

Spent two days out there. Arrived Thursday afternoon, tried fishing from shore for about an hour, got tired of reeling in moss/algae. Rained that night and we had ice on everything. I launched the kayak a little late in the AM and after trying a couple of thing decided to troll a rooster tail around. That worked, my buddy out fished me though, he landed three while I landed two, and since he doesn't like to eat fish (well, his wife doesn't) he gave his to me. The next day no ice, launched at dawn, roughly, was the only one out on the lake, which was like glass. I again was trolling a rooster tail as well as a spoon that a fellow fisherman recommended. Two hours later I headed back to shore with my limit, not real big but hey, what can I say, not too bad for a freshwater newbie.
