First Time At Candlewood

Captain Sean and I were going out here this was my first time and he had not fished here in many years. We stopped at the local bait shop. I think it was Candlewood bait ant tackle nice lady and older guy marks some spots on the map for us and we headed out. The first 20 min where the best. Thats because i got the biggest bass I have ever caught. After a few hours of slow fishing we got many other fish and some good ones. I got a 5lb 21" smallmouth biggest fish of the day. But sean got a 21,two 19,and a16 inch smallie 7 perch.
