[skippy]

Friend and I braved the morning downfall and thunderstorms. We launched and decided to stay near the launch in case the storm got worst. My buddy hit a two pound smallie by the dam and the rain stopped. We tried the entire southern end of the lake with us only picking up two small LMB's. The sun came out for a bit, so we took the 30 min ride to the middle island and hit the cove on the left. Alot of lilly pads, so we worked them and and caught 12 LMB's. The biggest was caught by me and went 3.5. I lost what appeared to be a 5lb plus at the boat. Hit the island and area around it and caught four more LMB. All and all not a bad day. The weeds are coming up and there are lilly pads all over the place. Headed in and the skys opened up about half way to the launch. Andy, the lot and launch were free of litter only two other boats and two kayaks.
