To the question of, would I go again? I would say yes, I'd like to go again, and it looks like I'll probably go again in April. The fish are obviously there, and the potential to catch a huge bag like Vulture did is really high at that lake.

As far as numbers go, it's the same story as big fish. If you have a good guide who can put you on the fish, you can certainly catch some great numbers. Two guys could catch 30 to 50 quality fish in a day if the fish were biting and you were on good water. Keep in mind that there's a ton of 10 to 13 inch fish in there too, so if that floats your boat, you'll have a good time. Drop shot a 4 to 6 inch worm and you can catch dinks off of every single tree pretty much.

For me the trip was all about getting big fish though, and to only come back with a 6 and a half as my biggest fish was a huge disappointment. I'm not talking bad about anyone, but to put it in perspective ... with a good guide, they could basically hand you the rod, tell you where to cast for 3 days, and you'd almost be guaranteed a 10 pounder. With a bad guide, you could be doing everything right for three days and never even show your bait to a big fish. By the third day of my trip, I pretty much realized that I probably stood a better chance of getting a double digit if I had been able to run the boat myself and find my own fish. I'm not making excuses, I'm just pointing out the way it worked.

The bottom line is, fishing is fishing no matter where you go!
