Started fishing the lake around 0600 using
the basic setup a dodger with a plane red hook.
We had our limits in 30min. It was a quick trip
but it was worth it.

Looking for some simple perch fishing, I headed to the nearest dock and flipped a Texas-rigged piece of worm over the side. The conditions were windy as hell, lots of waves churning up the bottom of t...
