Prepped the house for the painters this morning then took the dog,wife,daughter (DAF,WAF,KAF) up for a swim the dog and I took off downstream and the smallies were on the prowl. Had about 25 hook ups in about an hour and a half landed 15 all quality fish cept for 2 dinks. Went up to relax but the fishings was just too good. after awhile all the kayaks were coming over and said there were 2 girls upstream looking for me :smt003. Guess I didn't get as much WAF as I thought.
