First time for me.

We had a blast but the smelt came up short.
We caught maybe 45 between us.
I missed allot. It was a whole new experience for me and I loved it!
I walked up and down the camps and it seemed everyone was doing about the same as us.
Hopefully it was just a bad night and your trip will be better.
It's a very long drive for us.
By the time I got home I had been up for over 24 hours.
The driving is what kills me.
Is there any place closer than Riverbend?

i haven't tried weymouth in a couple of years but we used to do okay there, hit or miss. with some of the "warm" winters we've had recently - i've had some concerns over safe ice there
