Slipped away Friday evening (12/16) for a quick jigging mission. I struggled for the first hour to find fish and managed to find every snag in the lake. Also, I might have said a bad word or two. Finally got lucky and started putting fish in the boat. Ended up w/17 for a 3 hour trip.

On Saturday I planned to take my Son and his girlfriends Son. Neither are too familiar with jigging so I opted for trolling. Only problem was that they canceled late friday night. Since I was rigged and ready to go I trolled WITW alone and had a ball. Caught a limit of fish by noon and had a few dandy fish mixed in.
