Elnut , I caught one for you Sunday! Imagine 34 degrees wind out of the west 26-30+mph sitting in 30' water. Chucking a white Buddy with razor sharp triple grips on my trusty rain shadow. Ready to slip in to a calm cove and warm up sip some coffee when Bam stuck him 10 minutes later get a 20lb+ golden bronze smallmouth (carp) into the net. Well we can always dream that the first line scorcher is a huge smallie. If nothing else it warmed me up. You take care of yourself and put your trust in the Pilot he has the trip already planned and I'm positive you will enjoy it. Joe G..
