I got out today to find crystal clear water no stain in it at all trolled east out of the oak looking for some color and none found . So turned west and phone rings and told there is color in the water to west so i worked my way over that way. I had a few hook ups before wind picked up wound up with one soft release at the net. More important is boat is ready to troll. I know of a few who had a decent day out there with perfect browns. 4 guys in pne little boat did well. They even managed a double i am thinking big boards did the trick not as jumpy in the chop while flat lining. It was nice just to be on the water. Its game on now.
