Comments:

I had not fished with Ben since last year, and he had wanted to get together and do some fishing. Ben had also purchased a different boat this spring and I think he had wanted to take me out in his new water craft. I struggle and have a hard time fishing out of someone else’s boat. When it comes to fishing I have a very hard time taking a back seat and going along for the ride.
Tonight the fishing was absolutely horrible, I did miss a couple of fish but I never did bring one into the boat. We targeted the Black River, because it was relatively clean, while the rest of the river was quite dirty. We fished mainly deep rock bank areas and flooded timber. It was tough!

Observations:

The water in the Black was relatively clear, but there was absolutely no fish activity.
