Better than yesterday and way better than my day. That’s a good lookin outfit you used today. At the size of that cracker I’ll bet he was a good fight.
After having issues getting to the lake yesterday, I wake up this morning with rain hitting on the roof .
Checked the forecast and it was supposed to be over in about an hour .
It didn’t .
When I left home just before 10am it rained off and on almost to the lake .
The forecast was for a cloudy warm day in the upper 70’s .
It was 61 when we arrived to an occasional drizzle.
In my fishing past , I’ve done better on sunny days . I guess that’s why gills are called sunfish .
I manage to catch a few small gills , a couple of crappie , several small green sunfish and three spotted bass that added a little excitement other than the one shellcracker that put everything else to shame in the fighting department. Love those crackers . And the green fish are always good for an ultralight battle.
Favorite rod of the day was a 5’6” St Croix Premier that started out with a Shimano Sienna 500 but I swapped the Sienna out for a Shimano Soare XR 500spg to make a super lightweight combo .
Dreary conditions , but still managed to catch a few to add to the enjoyment of just being outdoors trading fishing memories with a good friend .
BTW , my buddy caught eleven to my twenty one .
The temperature when I got home around 4:30 was back at 61 . My buddy who lives south of me reported a temperature of 71 . We must have been right on the frontal line .

Cracker was almost as big as the crappie, those are some really nice fish.

Good looking fish. Glad you’re getting to go. Trolling motor is back on boat but now winds are so high can’t get on the water. Maybe in a few days.

We have had a big dip in temps and dreary rain for a few days now. I'm glad someone is getting to go, and even it's better that it turned out to be a good day for you.

This year has seemed to be a little strange for me . If it’s not the weather , or the wind , it’s a flat tire .
Now it’s the pollen that’s bothering me .
The pollen count yesterday was in the extremely high range at 2350 , today it was 35 .
I spent today indoors , recovering from my trip yesterday.
Guess I’m going have to wear a mask to go fishing .
