Section: Mid to upper BW
Time fished: 7:00 to 11:30
WT: 69.5
Bait: $Bill Gizzards
Shadslinger hopped on the boat with me at 7:00 and we headed out on the BW. Started out in an area I almost always pull a fish from. Was a little bit farther up the BW from my previous day. Run a full spread with boards, downlines, floats, freelines, light weight, etc. Had one pull down early but seemed they were playing with the bait again. Changed the dead bait out and watched an eagle circling overhead eyeballing our bait. Had the air horn out and ready and hit it as the bird dove and.....nothing! Was too cold and Was froze up. Watched the bird hit the water and grab a shad helplessly but luckily it grabbed the dead shad we had just taken off the line. We fished lots of areas that usually produce with no love at all. Got to watch a big 6 pt buck chasing does on the bank and had 2 fish come up and hit the planer boards, not the shad behind the boards but the actual planer boards. It was a beautiful morning out there and even though we didn't boat any fish it was a good trip. Spent the evening washing the skunk off the boat but not sure it was good enough.
