• Yesterday marked the first day of winter and my 100th trip of the year!

    Yesterday marked the first day of winter and my 100th trip of the year! It started at LCR--


    There was a bit of early fog


    but that soon burned off and you couldn't ask for better weather!


    The water was 51* - 53* and very clear. Grass is dieing slowly and coves are starting to clear--but it has a long way to go. Lots of FAV is drifting through the lake & that will take time to wash ashore or sink.

    Unfortunately, the bite only lasted an hour. I landed 10 (4 keepers), but as the morning wore on and spot after spot gave up no more, it was time to get out of there.


    Next stop--Diascund.

    With near-perfect weather, the initial bite was very slow. WT was low 50's and there was a little FAV, but not as bad as LCR.

    As the afternoon unfolded, the nice weather gave way to dark clouds, wind and (finally) rain, but the air stayed at 60* or higher! Throughout the afternoon, the bite improved steadily!!


    An hour into the afternoon, Doodlum and son arrived. I don't know who taught that child to fish, but he kicked the old man's butt all afternoon!! Rofl

    Next came Ranger690 & daughter & Uncle Howard (SeaNymph161). You'd think the afternoon was a Chesterfield County outing!


    When it finally became too dark to see the corks, I packed it in and pulled the boat out in the rain. (Lined up & loaded perfectly on the first try, Howard.) For the afternoon, I landed 46 (9 keepers).

    Trip # 100 was a wonderful winter day & a good time was had by all (except the fish.)
