I am going to make up for some last time with a couple of trips to Banks Lake. Even though the forecast is for some wind I am going to give it a try anyway. My brother Rick and cousin Greg have been on Banks for a few days and have been having a ball. They’re catching plenty of eaters and releasing some big fish. They have been trolling Flicker Shads and I will do the same, either on side planers or straight out of the boat. If the wind is brisk we may not need to use planers, but that is fun, too. My plan is to launch at the campground at the Million Dollar Mile and fish along the shore there. If you are not familiar with this launch it is very shallow and narrow. Tough for bigger boats. Look forward to reading and listening to my reports on how we do on Monday. You can now tune into the Podcast if you are out of range of the stations that carry my reports.
