Thanks Stephen. I used to like getting jury duty during work, but haven't been called since I retired. My company paid us for 8hrs a day. The state pays you $20 per day if your employer doesn't pay you. Whoopie!

Thanks Jeff. They tell me it builds character. I thought I was already a character.

The gate got opened 10 minutes late this morning (kid called in sick), and that was an indication of the day to come.
79Β° water temperature @ the ramp, up as high as 84Β° in other spots later in the day. I started at the north end and hit every spot I have, all the way down to the dam, NADA! Nothing but a few panfish in all my favorite places including the Brushpile, and only a few marking in deep water. I threw everything I had rigged up and "0" results. Ate my sandwich @1pm, and started backtracking all my stops. When I got back to the Brushpile, I tossed a Summer Gill into branches and got slammed! FINALLY! After wrestling her out, 2lb 3oz, I rerigged and made another pass, Slammed again, another wrestling match and in the boat. 2lb 7oz. Rigged another worm, circled around and hit it again, Slammed Again! This one wasn't coming out, and after 5 minutes all I felt was a dead snag or limp line, NO tug. I wrapped the 10lb braid around my pliers, and aimed the trolling motor away from the pile. Just as the line got tight, it started pulling BACK!!! I unwrapped the line and engaged the reel, after a little give and take, I got her out, and in the net.2lb 5oz. I retied the frayed leader, and made another pass. Slammed Again! This one went to instant snag, and after 10 minutes of trying every angle, and slacking off several times, I had to break it off. Never saw that fish. I continued north and worked my way through all my spots, with only another Rocky to show for it. Called it a day. 3 in the boat, missed a couple dropshot hits, and 1 broken off. All the Largemouth on a 5"Summer Gill Dinger.

Nice job Fred πŸ‘
Sometimes we have to work a little bit harder.
Keep that MOJO going. Buddy
That's got to make you feel good going back to the brush pile and pulling some nice bass out.
Have a good week and a safe one, glad you got out.
Haven't been out since Dave and I took Matt and Ryn out ,to dam hot still in the low 100s.
It's 106Β° here and it is 3:15 pm here now
!!!
Your buddy and friend on the weather coast.

Thanks Andy. Definitely had to try harder yesterday. That was my 3rd stop at the Brushpile,and I'm glad I made it. Be safe out there, and stay out of the sun my friend.
Your buddy back east.

Fred that's a great day. You never quit. Good job. I haven't been out too much bc my fishing buddy hurt his shoulder. I've been using time away from water to train for my 400 miles of cycling in September to benefit Children's Cancer Research. Always enjoy your reports.
