To concur with Anglinarcher's report today, we were one of the last boats on the water. Headed out around 11:00A to a building southwest wind. Casting proved relatively ineffective where it once was proven. Did see some follows, one fish was so determined after slashing a bait that was pulled from the water, slashing again at the bait while held two feet above the water, and hooked once the bait was returned to the water. That was fun.

As casting was not proving to be the fish catching magic that it was hoped to be, we moved to trolling north along the last third of the lake towards the creek. Remember that Southwest wind. By the time we reached the inlet stream at about 3:00P, the front wall had arrived and was pushing rollers to 3 feet with heavy whitecaps. My 18 foot bass boat was about too get very wet, I envy the guys with windshields and curtains this time of year.

That was it, we were stormed out, running the length of the lake in 3'+ rollers at 1/2 throttle to keep the nose up. The waves coming around the kink at midlake were the biggest I've ever seen at Rock, although if anyone was brave (foolish) enough to be there on Sunday I'm sure they saw bigger.
