Launched this morning at 8:30am in a foggy 37 degrees.  Fished till about 2pm.  After the fog burned off it got to a very comfortable 64 degrees.  Water was between 54 and 57 degrees.  Just a slight breeze.  I only put two fish in the boat today.  One was a nice 6.1lb and the other a small 12" fish.  Both caught on a swim bait in 10' to 12' deep open water  Lost one more that wrapped me around a chain that was anchoring a dock.

Enjoying retirement in the great Pacific Northwest.  I've turned into a fair weather angler.  Why do it today when I can do it tomorrow?

All right Ron thanks for the report and nice looking fish. ~c~ ~c~ Sorry you lost that one on the dock holder.  :'( Yelp it does look a little fogy out  there. 64* that would feel like a heat wave up here today it only got up to 42* and with the stout wind that has been blowing since last night the wind chill felt like 32*.

Nice bass, Ron. You look the part of an outdoorsman with the beard and hat. I always wanted to catch one of those huge sturgeon but ever got past Seattle-Tacoma after an overseas flight.

Thanks, can't help the way I look.  I've had the beard since 1975.  Those ugly fish (sturgeon) are powerful and fighters.
