    Report: That's why I haven't been able to locate you, Mr. Gray. You have not been around. I'm in court often and there is a John Gray working there as a bailif, I got excited thinking he was the one. not the fisherman John Gray. I have been posting a lot here hoping that other's would do the same. Also looking for some "like kind" to share that wonderful lake of ours. I have fished a lot these past 12 or so months and am always looking for peopel to share the esperiance with. I will look for your boat while out. I'm in a 1985 Winner brown/red with a 175 Mairaner that has been spray painted gray. If you have been around for a long time you may know the boat and former owner, Steve Hayth. Tight lines

    Report: Hey guys. Guess who? After being back in Maine for over a year now, it looks like I'm finally going to get back home in early August, at least for a couple of weeks. Man, I'm missing seeing that beautiful lake full again. I came back to Maine to raise some funds for my Mom's health care last June. Things were going well until Dec when Mom passed away at the age of 93. Now I'm all wrapped up in settling her estate.
    Anyway, if you happen to see a green and white Skeeter with a 175 Yammy on back, stop by and let me know what's happening. I'm gonna feel like a newby after all this time away.

    Report: Hawghunter, you mean bad weather as in "good?" I've been going out a lot in March and have been getting a few during the bad weather (down pour, snow, wind). The days I have been on Trinity with the sun shinning I have blaked. Anyone heard of any monster's being caught on Trinity? My biggest so far is a 4lb. largmouth. Anyone see the canoe man from Willow Creek on the water? Happy fishing & putem back so we can catchem again.

    Report: Forgot to mention Trinity's water temp. 47.7 Interesting that when I went to Whiskey Town on 12/21 the water temp was 47.8

    Real anxious to get out on the norht end of Trinity. I'm looking for a contact person in Trinity Center to get boat ramp info. I talked to a lady at the Jaktre store and she informed me that they are closing their doors on 12/31. This is who I used in the past. Any ideas.

    Report: Had a few extra hours so I went to the south end of Trinity. Atempted to fish the rock bluffs in Papoose but the wind was blowing too hard to finesse fish. Yo yoed a lipless and spinnerbait with no luck. Made my way to Covington Mill to get out of the wind and rain. Less wind but continued rain. Fished creeks channels with suspending rough, jigs, and plastics. Nothing.

    Bentrod-Couldn't launch at Trinity Center on 12/21 due to a report that there was snow on the roads in Trinity Cneter. I went to Wiskey Town Lake and caught a 4lb. largmouth within the first five minutes of the day off a break. Caught it on 4 ft. water with suspending Rapalla. Only other action was a hit on a suspendign Rapalla against a rocky bank.
