Well, got three hits and couldn't stick one of them! Very soft bites, except for one which I think was a perch judging by the "wiggle" factor of the bite.... Oh well, at least I was on the water. Temp...

Well, technically the rating should only be a 2, but since the fish I caught was a PB Smallmouth at 3.35# it was well worth a 3 to me! Hit Lake Goodwin about 5:30pm and worked our way around the lake....
