Just remember although they are very aggressive fish the slightest weather change can throw off the bite. So dont get discouraged!

FYI... Des Moines no longer has a boat hoist. They have a boat ramp at the yacht club but you need to be a member. Check our Redondo.

Thanks for the tip on that! I'm learning that launch fees are going to drain me faster than fuel...
