Got off early today and took the family to Skinner on the Trophy. Launched around 2:30, went straight for the inlet. Water was running, no fish in sight. Wait, boils, ?!?! Damn, ORANGE boils. Pretty nice size carp started blowing up all over the place just south of the inlet rope. No signs of stripeys though. Trolled raps around the east end and ramp 2 area for nothing. Lake's greener than it was last month for sure, lots more algae and weeds. Gave up at 6:30 after a last ditch drift from the dam headed east with the wind. Beautiful day though...
Damn I gotta get some electronics for this boat!
