Thanks! I'll try to post as often as possible... this is my only outlet for "fish talk" since 1) my wife honestly could not care less, and; 2) all the Facebook groups I used to be in sucked something awful.
As far as hitting the jackpot my first time out -- no kidding, right? I'm tempted to go back to it, of course -- and someday I will -- but I have to explore the other areas I mapped out first if I want to keep getting better at this... and I do.
I also explored a new region of the lake yesterday as a test: The first time I went out, I used the map to find potential hot spots first and then I hit the lake. Yesterday I went out and looked for potential hot posts on the lake first, marked them, and now I'll research those spots on the maps to see if they look as good on paper as they do on the water. I'll see which way is easier, though I think marking them out on a map first will win.
Thanks for all the encouragement.
