Went out again this morning and tried Johnson's Lake in the middle of Hawthorne. This lake is pretty small, so I started at the ramp at about 7:00 and trolled 30 yards off the pads in a big circle. Bites were in 2's or 3's at a time it seemed, but when I loaded up at 9:00 only 6 fish made the box out of 22 caught. It's been pretty interesting fishing these smaller lake with no electronics and having a 2 hr deadline adds to the challenge to succeed. I have replaced the o ring on the engine so I think I'll go back to little lake orange tomorrow morning and try to dial those fish in now that I have an idea where they'll be hanging out. To be continued...
