But like i said im no expert. just stick with it. put in the work and it will pay off, like most things tend to do. have fun. remember catching the fish is a bonus not being in the house is the main goal. peace.

6/21/2009 9:38:00 AMI was out there a couple weeks ago, fished from about 11 am to dark. I did the same thing (trial and error out of two FULL tackle boxes!!!). Had the most success by the pads and channel mouth to the left of the boat launch. caught a few perch and 1 smb @ 13'' on a white spinner. About dark hooked into a 5 lb tiger on a 5'' yellow grub on the edge of the pads in a little hollow.
