Westport to Fishville - 4/02
Scott and I launched out of Westport Tuesday and headed to Whalon's - there was a mildly stiff NNW breeze at the launch. I hugged the west shore going up the lake to mitigate the chop, but as we approached Split Rock the chop increased and made it to SplitRock we immediately put a combing 3-footer o...

Whestport - 3/26
Tuesday morning found me and Scott once again n at the Westport launch. It was cool, but the sun which had just snuck over the horizon promised a warm day and the lake was like a mirror. We slowly motored north rigging new gear - I went retro with a new level wide full of lead-core and changed thing...

Launched and readied rods for a short run to Hunter Bay. Dipsies had Sun Rise Speedi and purple/black...
