The weather is finally warming up, with an overnight low last night in the 50’s, so I was on the water at daybreak this morning. I returned to the area where we had finished yesterday, tied on a Gambler Flappin’ Shad soft jerkbait, and caught a fish on my second cast. Alleluia. I caught two more in the next hour, both on the Flappin’ Shad. It’s about time; I had caught two fish total in the past six days.
I left this little spot and began searching for another like it – hydrilla, clear water, five feet deep, back behind the reed line. I found one other, caught no fish there, but saved it as a waypoint on my Lowrance X15 anyway.

Dan is due in by 3:00 since we are going to meet my cousin Brenda and her husband Chris, for dinner tonight. I did things around the campground and had everything ready to go when he got home. The ride over to the coast was spent discussing Dan’s fishing day, and how pleased he was to finally have caught a few fish. We had a great time with my cousin and returned home around 10:00. By the time we settled down and fell asleep it was around 11:00, and I knew morning would come way to fast.
