    Default Just one !


    Had a chance to fish for an hour and a half this morning.
    Twenty degrees cooler this morning than yesterday. 52 degrees when I left the house with windy conditions with gusts over 30mph .
    I took my 5’6” Daiwa Gekkabijin Ajing Rod paired with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000 , and 3# Pline .
    I tried spoons for a bout thirty minutes without a nibble .
    With the drop in temps , I thought maybe a slower presentation might work .
    I switched to a drop shot using a 1/64 hook size 10 jighead with a monkey milk Bobby Garland Itty Bitty swimmer with a 1/16 weight about 14” below.
    On about my tenth cast , I felt a tap and raised the rod to set the hook on my only catch of the day .
    We have the remnants of hurricane Nicole headed here late tomorrow and a cold front by this weekend that will drop us below freezing by Sunday morning.
    It’s that time of year .
    Time to sharpen up my drop shot skills .

    Nice. No skunk and you got out, sounds like a win to me.

    As far as getting out , I’m going try to get out tomorrow morning.
    I have a plan .
    Weather predicted at 10am tomorrow, cloudy 62 degrees , with a slight chance of rain and 30mph+ wind .
    Drop shot all the way at the town pond by the bridge . Hoping the bridge will block some of the wind .
