Ray, thanks for your report. Decided to make a last minute trip up this Sat. Saw your van in the parking lot. Have to give you credit, thought you stayed out all day. Had 2 in our party that had to go to Rochester Sat. afternoon so only got to fish the morning. As you mentioned, didn't even try to fish on Sunday, due to the forecast. We did put another king on the board however. 25# even. As you said purple, frogs and 42 seconds went most for us.-Fished mostly east, for having fished there just 2 days prior,knew where we wanted to concentrate. -HeavenBound
