Took Scott and his crew from merrimack area today, they decided to tough out the weather and go for it. The wind was light til 9 a d then hell broke loose and it started ripping. They called it a day at noon. We were able to ice 9 lakers 3 smallmouth 1 white 1 salmon. Even a protected shoreline offered little protection. The big fish today were 22 and 23 inches, nice fat fish, kept only 1 fish to eat today.
