Thread: 30 minute Quickie trip :)

Dropped my wife off at the hairdresser and went fishing at Lake McIntosh.
Conditions were terrible. Water was stained pretty bad and the wind was 17 mph gusting to 26 .
Did a lot of gusting while I attempted to twitch a jig .
I went to the left side of the dock so I could cast with the wind .
The Daiwa braid I was using was wind blown all over the place .
On my first cast I caught a nice shellcracker that put a good bend in my 6’3” Abu Garcia MB3 four piece rod .
I was glad I had a four pound Floroclear leader so I could lift the shellcracker over the rail.
It took a few minutes and several casts to catch my next fish , a small redbreast .
Just before my time was up I caught a juvenile crappie .
With the conditions, I was pleased with the results.
The cracker made the trip worth it .
Glad it’s warmed up to where I can enjoy local short trips .
I need to check out the town pond soon .
