Too nice not to go

It was too nice of a day not to go. I hooked up early and headed out. Got to the ramp and fell in line to launch. I heard my name called out and I looked up to see skeetbum there in line ahead of me. We checked notes and headed out.

It was on the cool side this morning and we had a slight breeze. I put on the jacket. We got to the "hot spot" and set out the lines. The wind was a bit stronger out on the open water. I set up to work with the wind. It moved me out of the area quite quickly. I bumped up the trolling motor and made a return trip.

I did this 4 or 5 times before I got tired of fighting with the wind. But I can't complain. The rods were bending and I got to use the net several times. By now I had put on the wind breaker as well to cut down on the chill factor. And the chop was getting to be an issue. I pointed the bow towards the ramp.

I got back to the ramp right behind Skeetbum.

I had 9 fish in the box and one was my personal best ... 15 inchs and 2.1 pounds.





What a great day it was.

Until next time:

Tight lines and full nets

See you on the water
