    Default 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 .

    Well buddy, ifn you’re only gonna get one cracker make it a good one. And you did! They always make me happy. Glad to hear your short trips are back. Wish I could get by with one now and then. Hope you get out again soon.
