On such a warm day I'm not sure I went to the lake to fish or to just be in the sun. When I arrived the wind was up so I didn't think using my inflatable kayak was a good idea so I headed to the dock...

Headed up to Cottage after work and fished for about 45-50 minutes. There were about 4 people on the dock, no boats. Too windy of an evening. I started out with a Blue Fox spinner, no bites. Switc...
