SHORT REPORT ON OCONEE

Kowboy and I fished out of my boat today and it was my turn to fight the wind. Here is what I learned today.

1) Leave your long lines at home on windy days. In the future if the wind forecast is 10 mph or over, I will push jigs tipped with minnows.

2) When trolling in the wind leave your outboard motor in gear. Kowboy taught me this today after he untangled one of my long lines from the prop for the third time.

3) Don't leave fish to find fish. Actually I knew this one from a long time ago but sometimes I have to be reminded. Some of you will say how do you find those secret spots if you don't look for them. My response is a) don't look for those spots while the fish ARE biting. b) fish on weekends and just look for the boats with those tall nets sticking up in them. (To be honest I was all in for doing the scouting this morning and I got to see some places on the lake I've not seen before. It will pay off one day.

4) There are only two things weathermen get right. a) forecasting dry weather and b) forecasting windy weather.

Now for the short report: 20 fish, water 55-57 degrees, caught fish in 15-17 FOW and lots of fish in Sugar Creek. Now don't get upset. Sugar Creek ain't no secret.

BE SAFE
