About the water skiiers. I was on Lake Goodwin this year and had a water skiier run right over my marker buoy. Then I was on Lake Stevens, two boats on the whole lake ( me and him ) he buzzed me three times, so I moved to the no wake zone. About ten minutes later he buzzed me in the no wake zone. It makes you wonder.

Faz & I hit Goodwin today. Nice sunny day, no wind, and NO WATER SKIIERS!!! Matter-of-fact, there weren't any bass boats either. Except for the float plane that landed and came over to chat with us, there was no boat traffic at all. Boy, I sure do like cool-weather fishin'.
Water temp started out at 47 degrees in the morning, topping out at 50 by 1:00.
We broke out our dropshot rigs and set to work. By day's end, the body count was 10 perch, 1 trout, and 1 smallmouth. Not bad for November (my first November smallie EVER!)
We took advantage of the empty lake and spent some time graphing the bottom - and found a few new ridges and humps in deep water. Overall, a very pleasant day with great company!
