American Lake - 2011

[dkelliott3]

Spent 6 hours on the lake with a long time friend...The weather was great and water temp around 60 however I only got one and had one hit...My buddy lost one at the boat...All in all the fishing wasn't great but we got the chance to reminisce about our past fishing trips as this was the first time in 20 years or so we fished together...

Quote From the movie Late For Dinner; "Half of fishing is who you're fishing with".

Why is this lake so tough on me?

I was out alone two times this last week saw lots of fish on the scope and
saw some fish caught, but me skunked. I tried everything that has
worked for me at other lakes in the past and everything I have seen mentioned
on this lakes forum and nothing clicked. In all my many years of fishing I do not remember being so discouraged. The speed indicator on my fish-finder was
malfunctioning for the first time but other than that both days were a fine weather outing .I must admit I am not used to this kind of treatment. I need some help to get past my impediment.

Pink squid with uv Vance dodger { 11 inch leader } seems to work for me, troll as slow as you can. We put 15 in the boat yesterday, lost quite a few, took 4 hours.
