Mike, Carl, that sounds like a great idea. I got new scotty electrics just for the occasion, well salmon also. The itch for Macks is very unique.I guess it's due to the possibilities that are in that lake, and the variety of "color moods" along with migration patterns the fish have. Finding them is half the science/fun/skill of a sucessfull day. I swear i have bought 40 or more spoons(way out of controll!) just for Macks since last spring after our first trip there. Mike, did you ever get a chance to fish it last year? It was pretty darn good considering how much the lake levels changed due to the drought conditions. Can't wait till March. Anyone ever heard of poor man's lobster?
