Odd Day Off Trip.
Was given the Day off in return for having to work my reg day off this Friday. So after watching my daughter march in our local Veterans Parade I went and got the rig.
On the water at 1ish water temps mid to high 40s. Pond is way low making most of my normal late Fall haunts unfishable. Managed a small pickle on a jerkbait. Caught another on a J9.
Drilled a rock and am glad I was sitting while moving or I would have had a cold swim. Know this place real well but with the water so low hazards were abound. Made an adjustment to floro (very clear pond) for my jig but still nada. Dropped anchor and changed it all up. Alt between a bigger jerkbait and a smaller one for the real shallow stuff. Got a nice 15in Bass on the bigger jerkbait in a rock field. Worked a normally great point with only a small pickle on a small jerkbait to show for it.
On my finish run to the beach I worked a rattletrap that scored a tiny bass. Wind was getting tough and had to abandon fishing and trolling so just made the run in. Off the water little after 4.
Hate getting old used to put the wheels under my canoe and wheel it down to the launch loaded then back up the modest hill loaded. Half way up I tapped and walked the tackle bag the battery and the tmotor to the flat ground. lol
