Waited for the rain to pass this morning, so launched the boat around noon. Had a short time on the lake trolling (2hrs) before the wind started to pick up, but was surprised the passing front yielded some good shouldered fish including a 2# 15 inch Mama, ready to spawn...it's the time of yr I turn them back to the water for future seed, so no fish kept today....So the wind sent me to the tranquil surroundings of a nearby creek & it was jig & float time. The bite was steady with many variety of fish & sounds of nature strolling the banks. The specks were mainly dark males... was a fun time unexpected...tight lines all...BTW upon launching was approached by a FWC rep. who was surveying the Shad run, told me the 1st wave is around Christmas area of Rt. 50 St. John's & they expect another run mid-February...
