    I did get out for a few hours in the afternoon. Only caught 3 smallies but some good size- a 17 and a 16. Largest one came on suspending jerkbait and was my first ever suspending jerkbait fish ( thanks to Pauls suggestion). Rapala Xrap XR-8

    I had a slow day, picked up one decent smallie 13 or 14 inch range and thats all. spent most of the outing paddling rather than fishing as I chose a longer stretch than I should have with the time that I had available. EricG

    I like "The Fish Grip" plastic, lightweight, works well. I also keep it tied to my kayak while kayaking and clip it to a tree branch to hold position sometimes. Leaving it tied to the kayak anchor trolley rope I can clip a large pike by the lower lip and let go of it, the plastic grip holds it for me. Haven't tried this device for wading, just for in kayak. eric

    my brother Tim and I had a nice float, we each had a smallie caught at the put-in before even getting the boats in the water. double digits for each of us as well. nothing bigger than 14". My brother also got two Northerns and I also got a couple rock bass. Tim got most of his fish on a twister, I used Hula, senko, crank. Tried topwater a bit at first but no topwater action. Thanks to PaulT for showing us the put-in and take out points. EricG

    I'm fine with a bulky front so I can have a thin back panel on the vest. I don't find the bulky front a problem. main thing is a vest comfortable enough while paddling that you will actually wear it. I promised my wife I would wear the vest all the time on rivers while kayaking which I feel is a good idea. Don't always wear it on ponds. I prefer a vest designed for paddling comfort rather than one designed to hold lots of fishing lures etc. EricG

    with that many people we might want to split up and try a couple different access points/routes. I have options in mind. EricG

    https://kelty.com/trail-ridge-6-with-footprint/ I have had good luck car- camping with a Kelty tent similar to this (prior model no longer offered). Tent fly does go all the way down the sides. Kelty website price 399 but may find elsewhere for less. EricG
