The wind died down here in late afternoon and around 4 pm I headed out for Edinboro Lake. Got there and a big dark cloud was hovering real close. By the time I got on the water and about a quarter mile up to the pads all heck broke loose so there I sat hunkered down under my big golf umbrella ( save the cigar) . This lasted about 20-25 minutes so as soon as it broke I started casting away. I was using a big popper that I don't usually use and nothing was even making an attempt so I switched to my lighter pole with my Booyah jr. Popper .
A few cast later in an isolated patch of pads this bass shot up thru some matted crap came completely out of the water and choked my frog . No trouble getting her in 4.56 #s . And just to show I'm not prejudice on how big a Bass has to be to get a pic of , well my second bass was really small. That was it for the day wind picked up again and dark thirty rolled on the lake. I'll take it for a few hrs of frogn' in nasty weather. Sorry bout the pics something going on when I upload to my phone???????? 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Son Gregg and I headed to one of the local waters for a bit this morning. We each caught 3 smallish bass and quite a few pickerel swimming 4” Keitech’s. We both lost a decent bass right at the bank, both looked to be a bit better than those we landed, maybe 2 and 1/4# or so. Tradition that we get out and fish on my birthday and make sure not to catch the skunk 🦨. The mallard pictured had 12 ducklings about a week ago but must have lost 2 to attrition of some sort. Got this card from my BIL, thought it was quite appropriate.
