I met up with SkeeterRon from about 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m-ish. I hadn't fished for 11 days due to back pain (all better now) but I was very grateful to be afloat without having to risk re-injuring my back. Nice sunny and calm day. The TwinTroller is pretty sweet. When you hook into a tree, you can go straight to it without worrying about raising/tilting the trolling motor. We covered most of the perimeter clockwise, saw a few "decent" cruisers...the bites were pretty light, although something with teeth sliced one of my creature baits in half. I got the typical rock bass and 8-inch largemouth combo: [img:69d7b20900]http://www.turtlekiss.com/batterson5.28%20rockbass.jpg[/img:69d7b20900] [img:69d7b20900]http://www.turtlekiss.com/batterson5.28%20lmbass.jpg[/img:69d7b20900] Ron did a bit better: [img:69d7b20900]http://www.turtlekiss.com/batterson5.28%20ron%20lmb1.jpg[/img:69d7b20900] [img:69d7b20900]http://www.turtlekiss.com/batterson5.28%20ron%20lmb2.jpg[/img:69d7b20900] I saw what must have been a carp on the right side (looking out from the launch.) I'm [i:69d7b20900]assuming[/i:69d7b20900] it was a carp just due to its enormous size...just saw a 2ft shadow under the water zip by...it swam faster than all the lazy carp I've ever seen in my life. Dropped my Droid in the water and killed it, so if anyone's been calling/texting me, I haven't received any messages since 5/28.

Good report I still need to check that place out, looks perfect for small boats. That twintroller looks pretty awesome as well.

What were you throwing? Last Thursday, the bass were still feeding lazy. I'm going to check out West Hill Pond in the morning tomorrow. It's 260+ acres, so ditto on the TwinTroller. I think I'm going to wish for a motor or two after a few hours of paddling. I'm already thinking of getting a Hobie with the pedal drive. I'm not a big lake guy who needs a bass boat, at least I think I'm not! In the meantime, if anyone wants to do a little paddling tomorrow. . . .
