started out 'on the spot' before the sun was up. slipped out of the dock cove with barely a wake as I idled across... clear, cold morning as air temps were just at 50°F. very light breeze that put a small chop on the water. Water temps had cooled down to 67°F
tossed the topwater walking bait. absolutely no surface activity so I went to plan B: deep diving rapala shadow rap jerkbait... and it was game on. enjoyed constant action as I fancast about the boat. most fish came over a depth transition and ranged in size from a pound up to one that may have pushed a bit over 3.
very long fish. but solid ... just short of 20 inches...
