I am looking forward to attending this.

Ronk, I have been catching the trout. I caught an 18 inch rainbow last week with the Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, caught a small one this week on a Rebel Craw. Saw a few monster Rainbows cruising the shore line with the carp. I am hoping to catch one of those in the near future.

There are a ton of largemouth in the lake. A guy already caught a 5 pounder and an 8 this year.

I would like a little help. I have been fishing a gravel pit that was stocked with Smallmouth Bass about 7 years ago. I have only caught little dinks on topwater baits last September. I spoke to another person who fishes the gravel pit and he said he caught a 4 pounder a couple of years ago but doesn't remember what he used to catch it. There are steep drop offs all around the shore and pit is about 32 feet deep at it's deepest. There are weeds all over the bottom and there is some timber along the shores. Because of the weeds my fish finder can't distinguish a rock pile, the weeds are so thick that that is all that shows up. It is clear water as well. I can see about 10-12 feet down. I would like some help with technique. I can catch LMB and Rainbow Trout all day but I would like to try and target the Smallmouth. Any Suggestions on baits and where to target them would be appreciated.

Which part of the Kish and Fox are you wanting to know about?
