	Oh and I've caught more lakers from camp (2) than jigging (0) and I've spent a few hours jigging tinsel jigs through likely spots after a successful trolling pass with the same jig. Catching a laker from a campsite on a beetle spin or a fat rap is always special.

Last year we caught more trout than ever. Didn't keep count 'cause we were having too much fun. I'd guess we ended the trip with about 30 or so between the two of us.... but it was early in June and the fish were still shallow. My estimate was 8-15ft and we more or less hugged the shoreline while trolling.
