Updated! Thanks, Erik

After looking at the webcam before I left work at 5:00pm it looked perfect--almost flat. Got to the launch around 6:00pm and was quite suprised to see the lake was 2-4 footers with the occasional 5. We putted out to 80fow straight out and went south with the waves. First fish came on a rigger right on the bottom with a tin can and spin-n-glo... 8lb laker. Next hit was on a rigger 50 down with a silver streak super screw... missed it. Next fish was on a 250 copper with a mag blue dolphin.. 12lb king. Saw a few flashes of lightning to the south so we picked up and headed in at 8pm. Ended up 2 for 3 in about 1.5 hrs.

Hope to be there weather depending! It was a great time last year!

Shimano dropped their sponsorship with BC2???? Did I read that correctly?
