Good Fish Buddy. I replied to your email, but I don't think you recieved my email. Maybe one of those Spam protector's is filtering mine out. Anyways I was confused on your email until I read the post here. I thought you were saying in the email that you were done fishing for good, but it appears what you meant was that the lake was being drained. I agree that it may be for the best in the long run. Just think of the trophy fishery in 10 years without the nuisance species. Keep in touch.

P.S. I also had a decent night in the northern country on Halloween. Night time fishing I landed a real surprise around 5 am. Something totally unexpected! I tried to email it to you, but I don't think you recieved it. So I'm sorry for having to post it here. The report is on my forum. Had a couple decent bass in the mix too. After day break I only caught smaller fish with a couple over 3 lbs. The boat will only be out for a couple more weeks, and then I'll have to look forward to cutting a hole in the ice to catch them. You guys in California are lucky you can fish year round.
