The weather has kind of sucked this year. The only good thing is that I think it's prolonging the spawn on many lakes. I'm still seeing bedfish after a month of spawning at Seco. I just got my 9" MS Slammer yesterday, these things look sweey. I can't wait to throw it tomorrow. Do you thimk this it will be a good day for this thing with the weather predicted. I also plan on using it this summer for Stripers in the American river. I've always had good luck with Pencil Poppers and Striper Strikes but these Salmmers will most likely be replacing them.
