I took my time getting up. it was still cold out and I was in no hurry to brave that cold. I had a warn cup of coffee and took my time hooking up the boat. When I got to the ramp, much to my surprise there were still a lot of parking spaces
...
It was warmer, by a few degrees, but I dressed better and I left a little later in the morning. In fact I got one of the last parking spots left in the parking lot. I launched and could see the fleet just off shore. I pointed the bow in

I got up before the alarm this morning, My Lady was already up and making coffee for me. I went out to hook up the boat to the truck and there was ice on the windows of the truck. I turned on the heater and defroster and went back in to get

I got up at 6am hoping to leave the house with out waking my lady. It didn't work. she got up just before the alarm went off and check to make sure I was up. She started the coffee as I hooked up the boat. We enjoyed the first cup together

I knew that it was going to be a busy day on the water when I got to the ramp and I was the 4th boat there. I headed out and it was a beautiful morning.
There was only a very light breeze and the water was as smooth as glass.

Today I got to have the pleasure of having Skeetbum on my boat. He had once mentioned that he would like to see what I do when I go after sunshine bass. So this morning we were able to get together and hit the river.
I couldn't think of a better way to start the New Day, The New Month, The New Year and A New Decade than on the water with the first sunrise of the Decade.
I got up early. I was the first one to the parking lot and the first one in the water. I headed out to my happy hunting grounds that have been doing well for me. I even beat the sun this time.
I thought that I would go do a little rod bending yesterday. It started out with me over sleeping, so I was off to a late start. When I got to the ramp there were still a few spots left in the lot. That was good !
I got a chance to try out Lake Ashby on Friday. It was my first time to that lake. It was still cold and a little windy when we hit the lake. Water temp was 53 deg. The wind was blowing out of the south west and it picked up as the day
