Out fish for Kings today and my buddy Ken noticed one rod was not running right. The spotted bass was 5 1/2" long and the Herring bait was 5"

Looks like the alewife that tried to inhale my NBK Stingray this summer.

It was ruff, but we took the tow line on the planer board mast, ran it across the top of the cabin on the boat, then lashed it to the steel line on the reel . Are lake is starting to flip and the Bass, Trout and Kings are altogether now. In a few more days the lake will set up in it's winter mod
