Great post.

But I have to call you on one item: My family's been the Lake for over 60 years, and we've *always* fished for bass! Love catchin' 'em, love eatin' 'em. (Although these days it's mostly 'catch and release' instead of 'catch and filet.')

I was encouraged to see a good number of really big smallies while diving this spring. Granted, it was early May pre-spawn, and they were no doubt moving into the shallower water from their deeper haunts, but still...nice to see such a concentration of cows.
