First let me say we had a great time, but there were some bumps in the road. After I got everything in order Friday it was running too late to worry about live bait. I got up there (Mitchell Creek Marina, great folks) in time to fish Friday afternoon. I used the trout magnet on a slip bobber set at 9-12'. Conditions were very windy and I mostly stayed in the creek. That evening I caught the Kentucky and another smaller smallie. Saturday morning, we woke up to one of the boats almost sunk (poor guy came in late Friday and just launched his boat and put it in the slip not knowing his livewell pump was leaking). The smallie was caught on a traditional fly, same rig, along with another and the biggest of the trip 18" smallie.
