A storm front had moved in early that morning and rained until past noon. I had planned this trip with my pastor since october so, a little rain was not going to deter us. We hit the lake a little after sunrise and the air temp was 41 degrees. With the wind chill, it felt a lot colder. We fished coves in the ski arm the first half of the day. I was throwing white flukes over weed beds and drop shotted a 3" salt/pepper reaper off steep walls. My pastor had never fished this lake before and was throwing texas rigged plastics. I caught two fish on each method. My pastor got skunked. He didn't change up until after I caught a few fish. Biggest went 2.4 lbs. The sun came out in the afternoon after we took a break to thaw out our hands which were very numb from the wind and rain. The fish were still biting in the sunlight. We fished the banks near the east ramp the second half. It was a cold trip but a lot of fun.

Used 6lb Maxima with a #4 Owner Mosquito nose hook for the drop-shot and 10lb Maxima with a 4/0 Gamakatsu off-set worm hook on a weighted white Zoom super fluke.
