Comments:

It was an evening fishing trip by myself. I had two goals this evening: test the go devil and catch some fish. I have been having some electrical start issue with the engine, so I replaced the solenoid and the switch. I seemed to have succeeded in fixing the problem, now the engine starts with ease.
Fishing tonight was okay. The fish did not seem to be overly aggressive. I missed just as many as I caught. With the water continuing to drop the fish seem to be somewhat scattered. However, the fish I did catch were pretty tight some sort of cover and out of the current.

Observations:

I can once again see my dock. The lily pads in back bay locations are popping up and everywhere and some are fully expanded and on the surface. The milfoil in the upper end of the lake has exploded and covers the surface in some areas. The lilacs are not quite to full bloom yet and it seems as if the trees have leafed out over the past couple of days.
