Got a late start....hit the water about noon. Nicest day we have had in awhile so getting out was more the objective than loading the stringer. Put a Doc Sprately on about 30" from a small orange/re...

I actually started my day at Ketchum. Did a few circuits of the lake and landed a small bow, that put up almost no fight. Decided since I was close enough I would pack up and head to Goodwin. Started ...

We hit the water about 7:30 for a beautiful day relaxing on the lake. I was surprised at the lack of empty trailers at the launch. The weather was so nice I thought for sure we would have to fight for...

Well, I was hoping to hit this lake before the smallmouth got to far along in their spawn and I was close. Water temps I found were 59-62*. The fish are definitely bedding up and while that's a bummer...

First one through the gate this morning, by the time I had lines in the water it was probably 7:30. Weather all morning would go from overcast, to a slight mist, to a light shower. Surface water temp ...

Back again to my favorite lake. Arrived as the Ranger was opening the gate at 7am. Lines in the water about 7:30ish. Terrible morning weather wise. Rain most of the time, and worse for me, wind. No fu...

2nd day in a row at Goodwin. Morning weather did not look promising. Rained the whole way from my house to the launch. Arrived at the launch right about 7, by the timer I unloaded, got underway and li...

At the launch again by 7am. Fishing by 7:30. Beautiful morning. Surface water temp was already near 70. Best spot today was the cove just south (left) of the launch. I think this was partially due the...

Went out to Goodwin with a few friends to bass fish Saturday. Bass fishing was very slow so we switched to trout after talking to some guys fishing on a dock who held up a monster of a trout and told ...

I really should spread out to a different lake, but this lake just keeps producing nice meated (is that a word?) fish for the smoker. I was on the water again by 7, lines in by 7:15. Looked like there...

First time at Goodwin.
Got there about 5pm. Lots of boats and water sports going on plus some wind, made it interesting to maneuver the little boat around. Didn't catch anything of great size but...

Got up and hit the lake before the 4th of July circus arrived at the lake. As it turns out, I didn't have much time. Once the wake-boarders with their electronica music cranked, the water skiers, and ...

Pretty tough day, but with the first fish within 10 minutes right at 3.35#, and the last fish in the last 10 minutes at 2.88# it was a pretty good day! Only one dink caught between those too. The bigg...

With the temps dropping, decided to see if the trout would bite on the troll yet. Arrived about 8am, only 1 other boat bass fishing on the lake. Started off with a size 6 green Doc Spratley on the dow...

Nada. Only had a short period to fish today, but headed to Goodwin since the wx was good. We concentrated on a couple areas that usually produce a bite or two and hit them with our usual weapons of ch...
