Nice trip Jon. Any sign of weeds on the flats?

My weekday club was sponsored by crystal lake bait shop for a few years and we would fish a couple tournaments there every year. Once we figured the lake out it was a decent place. I went there once last year and didn't spot a weed anywhere. The place was never over weedy and what weeds were there held good fishing. I have caught some decent smallmouth there. The biggest I have seen caught in a Ct. Lake came out of there in the 90s. 5lbs 4 ounces caught in an evening tournament. My old tournament partner and I fished it on July 4th around 2000 and we found a big school of smallmouth suspended under a ball of bait fish that was surfacing in the center of the lake. We landed a bunch of them up to 3 pounds using senkos which were just starting to be the craze around then.
