Hey guys,
Decided to go fishing this week since I'm on my spring break. Haven't fished for months not since Dec 31th. So on Tuesday I went to SARL with my cousin, but we got up late and made it to the lake around 10:30 or so. We were fishing on the big lake and noticed only a hand full people were out there. A family to the left of us were catching trouts left and right, while we tried everything in our arsenal. To no avail we got a BIG FAT :Skunk: Anywho, I went home thinking I wasn't satisfied with the results. I decided to head out to the MiD on a solo mission the very next day. I wanted to get this monkey off my back. As usual, I set my alarm for 4:40am only to hit the snooze button like 100x. Around 8:30, I finally woke up and packed up my gears. Left the house around 9:10, reached the lake around 10:30 (yep roughly the same time as Tuesday). I fished the channel at the entrance for some stripers till 12:30. The wind picked up, the water current was pushing my line back to shore so I gave up immediately. Decided to turn my attention to the other species. Change my setup to a wacky rig 5" senko watermelon purple flake(I don't remember the exact color/flavor) weightless on 6lb test mono. 2nd cast into it I caught this guy http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2240.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2241.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2242.jpg I'd say it was about a pound and half to 2. Then in my 8th cast I farmed a smallie which appeared to be around the same garth. 30 mins later I catch my 2nd smallie, http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2243.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2245.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2244.jpg 15 mins after that, this guy shows up http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2246.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2248.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2247.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2249.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2250.jpg 25 mins later http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2251.jpg , http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2252.jpg ,http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/Autobotz8/IMG_2256.jpg Total fish count 4 and 1 farmed, 3 smallie and 2 large. Finally Beat the :Skunk:

EDIT: It's been a long day, I accidently put "Direct link" instead of "IMG Code" in terms of the images.
