Caught 10 trout, 4 reds, and a flounder in Prien Lake yesterday afternoon. Water was not as clear as it was the weekend before. Dang wind was WHIPPIN! Had a 12 yr old with us who has never really fished, had to watch out for hooks flyin and that wind multiplied that 10-fold. Caught enough trout for them to eat and went to some sheltered water and caught some reds. Had to end up putting a circle hook on for the kid and he finally caught a redfish - the drifting and slack in the line was not too favorable for him. Heard it was SLICK that morning out there though. Will post some pics later, but buddy caught a 35+ lb 'W' (black drum) on 12 lb test, got drum slime all up in the boat
