interesting report and good job in the tourny! I was thinking about fishing Stren next year due to the fact 2 of the 4 in my division would be 2 hours or less from the house ( Lake Gaston and Potomac). The 2 in N.Y. would be all new for me (Champlain & 1000 islands). Never fished for deep smallmouth so sounds like i might have to look for the largemouth bite. Did you stay in the Lawrence the whole time?
