Yup funny how having a day like that puts a smile on ones face. Good job.
I got up early again today, so I make an other early start on the lake. Much to my surprise,I was the second one in the lot and number 3 and 4 showed up while I was staging the boat.
It was still dark as I moved into 7 feet of water. I shut down the big motor and started to set up the rods. The other boats raced by me. I got all the rods out and started the small kicker motor and set a course for the sign line and stone island. Nothing happened at first but when it did I had three rods go off one after the other. Now that was a nice start !
I had decided that I was going to only keep three fish today. I really didn't feel like cleaning a lot of fish and the freezer still has a good supply in it. So it was three on the counter and one in the box.
I got down to sign # 1 and did an about face and started to work my way back. By now I had 10 on the counter and 3 in the box (one of the three was just barely 11" ). I pass by close to another boat and give a shout out to him. He had 5 so far. We both stayed in the area working back and forth.
I have a rod bend and I bring aboard a nice 12''er. the small one goes back. I now have my 3 nice keepers to take home. But the rods keep bending. And I keep marking the location. I hope to have a few good spots to work come Saturday .
The wind starts to pick up and the bite starts to slow down. I look at the counter and it's at 22. That is the best that I have done in a long time. I pull the rods and head in with a big smile on my face. It was a good day!!
I put the boat back on the trailer and it's only 10 o'clock.

Great day, glad the bite seems to be picking up some !!
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"Slimjim1 LIKED above post

Ya guys, I think I am starting to get this speck thing figured out. All you need to do is go often as possible ( being retired helps ) , use lots and lots of rods, and stay on the water as long as possible. Oh and look for where the other boats are at. That is what is working for me.
