I am sitting at the boat launch as I type this from my phone. I only have about an hour to get my line in from 4 to 5 pm. No luck, but it's still fishing so it's good times! I have power bait on a 1/2 ounce egg sinker. The bait "should" be floating about 3-4 feet from the bottom. I am the only one here (except for two of my little kiddos with me playing in the bushes) so it is quiet and nice. Will update only if I catch something. Fish on!

i was thinking of going there today. Guess I didnt miss much. Try moving up to 1 oz and braided line if you can and go with a 7 ft leader. Ive seen people cast half way out into the lake from the launch with that set up. Its no guarantee that you will catch fish, but it should improve your chances.

Thanks for the advice. I met a nice gentleman who set me straight with some good advice and once I fixed my too heavy hook, I promptly got two separate bites but was only able to reel in an empty hook. It seemed that the power bait was very effective. If I had more time I think I would have had trout for dinner instead of hamburgers. Tomorrow I will try lake meridian, if it is open.
