Thanks for the compliment, Paul. Right back at ya.
As for my trip, I probably floated about a half mile past the buoys before I started to turn around, and let the wind blow me back in. I had an OK day. I couldn't seem to get good hookups when I'd get a big bite. I had something huge on, close to some rocky cliffs, on a smoke/sparkle 5" Senko, and I got it close eneough to see it's size. It never surfaced, and was thrashing like crazy, and it broke the line about 5 feet directly under me as it wrapped the line around one of my fins. Smart fish.
Also, I didn't get a chance to post yet, but PrinceFisher took me out on his boat to Jordanelle last night, too. We had a great time, he was a great host, and we fished for smallies and perch with his 2 sons. When we arrived around 4, it was cold, windy, and rainy, but as soon as we put the boat in the water, it hadn't been 5 minutes before the sun came out and the wind and rain stopped. We didn't quite get as many fish as we wanted, but it was still a fun trip.
