 I jumped off that bridge many years ago, ouch! Nice fish, I really like the fight of a good smallie, good eating too.

[Head-shot]

Nice smallie, too bad on the lack of muskies I love catching them.

I leave my boat out there most of the summer unless I am going fishing somewhere, I have a friend that lives on the lake. I saw on the news last night that Pierce County is going to start cracking down on us for "rafting" in the cove. It said the fine was going to go from $60.00 to $300.00.

i think i rafted in the cove one time...is that the party cove?

the launch fee at that lake is miserable. we put in a couple times from the private launch on the island. friends of ours folks live on the island.

I used to sneak onto the golf course at hole #2 all the time in high school.  The best fishing is when they draw the lake down and all the fish are stacked on top of one another in little pockets of water.  Do they still drain it each year?
