Got back last night from Banks for the first time.  Fished all day Monday and most of Tuesday.  Got some pointers from other members and it was non-stop action on Monday.  We stayed at Steamboat Park and first fished the punch bowl flipping, pitching, cranking, spinnerbait, senko...all seemed to catch fish.  Most fish, however were quite small mostly in the 1-2lb range.  Both largies and smallies were in all phases of the spawn throughout the lake.  Tuesday was a little slower, but I still manage to catch some fish...mostly smallies.  Biggest one went 2.6lbs.  We caught some monster perch as well.  Overall a great experience and will definetly do it again.

Oh no...don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining at all about the size of the fish.  Their fight and aggressiveness made up for their lack of size.  My best 5 on the first day went 9lbs and the second day was close to that.  Reminded me of the 2005 bassmasters where a 2.5lb fish was a like a 5lber.
