DAY BEFORE VALENTINE'S DAY FISHING
I finally got my wife in the boat with me for her annual fishing trip. I told her it was her Valentine's Day present.I lead a dangerous life.
Anyway we went to Lake Oconee and began fishing around 8:30 a.m. There was a breeze and it was cool and the fish were keeping their mouths shut. We were pulling jigs with 8 rods and the wind died around 10:00. When it did the fish began to move up in the water column and also started biting. At 10:00 we had 5 fish. We quit fishing at 1:15 with 30 fish in the cooler and they were still biting. Tricia caught the two biggest fish of the day a 14 inch and a 15 inch that I imagine was over 2 lbs. We finally hit it just right. Actually I think she enjoyed it. She doesn't like fishing. She likes catching. So do I. We had fun but I worked my tail off. All she can do is reel a fish to the net. That's a start. We had a blessed day. By the way the water was 54-55 when we started and 57 when we finished. I heard a report of 60 degree water in the back of one of the creeks.

I'm sure she enjoyed it going fishing with you, especially with the fish you guys caught. BUT......I'd almost bet she's expecting you to carry her out to dinner tomorrow nite too. Hey! Better make her happy 'cause when the cook aint happy then NOBODY is happy.

Good trip! My wife goes with me sometimes but she sure don't like it when it's slow. I got her a teddy bear for valentines that says you rock my boat!

My wife loves fishing as much as me and she catches more too. Small sacrifice for a good woman.
