Spawned out,bloody tail,sunken loose belly,totally spent after short fight,had to motor away from shore to hold her in water till recovered,almost one minute.Water temp 56, possible big male? I don't think so though,all fish looked healthy and released.A great morning,10-15yrs.ago would have stayed out,constant trolling motor work while playing fish,standing in high winds,back cramping badly,almost fell out twice.WORTH EVERY SECOND.

Good deal, much better than my day.

Nitro. Great job.

Great trip. Be careful out there. We really should wear out PFD's when we are alone, especially if we are seasoned anglers, as the majority are here.

Tks. for the Super Report.

Excellent outing Nitro. A lot of good reports coming in lately, but this is a really good one. Congrats on some great fishing.

Good advice on keeping the PFD on while fishing alone Bill. I am the worlds worse for not wearing the PFD after I shut the big motor off.

We also had a decent day on Monday 4-6-15. Started out in mill creek and didn't have much luck early. Once the wind picked up we caught a few on points on craw colored warts. Tried a white spinnerbait without any luck. Only boated 6 with 4 keepers. Biggest was around 6 lbs.

ive got back issues myself so the best two things ive done was putting a recessed foot control tray in and investing in good mustang inflatable vests. never take it off and actually in the winter its pretty comfy. i ask who ever fishes with me in cold water conditions to not take the spare i bought off.better safe than sorry. the tray keeps me balanced and my knees and lower back dont bother me near as bad even when i'm on the water over 8hrs.

Great report there Nitro; sounds like a great day!

Sound advice too Bill!..........I get chuckled at and asked a lotta questions like "Can you not swim?!?!" Cause I always wear my inflatable PFD. It's just second nature and plenty comfy........I'd like to still be fishing in another 50+ years. And, I've got little ones at home; I owe it to them (and myself) to make it home after every trip.:-)
