Weather: It didn't rain. There were some clouds. They all broke up by 9:00. It was cool in the morning but warmed up. I wore long sleeves until I took it off.
Water: Plenty of water. All over. It was sort of warm but not as warm as some years. Too warm to keep ales alive for very long.
Techniques: Put bait on hook. Put hook in lake. Let line out. Put pole in holder. Row. Hope something eats the bait.
Caught 3, none very big. 1 pretty early and 2 on the way home under full sun. That is encouraging. The moon phase is good for fishing, if you believe that sort of thing.
Biggest said 5 lbs on my scale but I may need to recalibrate that scale. Also one channel cat. Small. Started after 6:30 am and quit before 10.
The last two fish took bait that was positively dead. I put cuts in it and hook it like normal, only not so delicately. All my bait was dead before 10.
