On Sunday afternoon we took the new boat to Lake Mendota to give her a sea trial and to try fishing. We have been out on this lake quite a bit with our other boat but we have never fished it.

She ran great and was steady on the choppy lake. Winds were gusting to about 15 mph making the open water very rough. Luckily we had our rain gear so we could stay dry.

Gracie and I rigged up a Lindy spoon with a crawler on a 7′ leader with a bottom bouncer. Gracie got skunked and I caught a 7″ white bass.

Not a bad day at all.
