AT 45°- 60°
WT 47°ish
Partly sunny early then changed to overcast skies with little wind through the day.
I've never seen so many deer feeding on the way too the lake yesterday. That gave me hope the fish would be doing the same.
Bet the bass guys would like to have this citation in a tournament. Nice to have a LMB pull a little drag on a striper reel.
Striper action was pretty good, missed several strikes and lost a few baits.
When you are fishing by yourself its hard to get um all. Especially when your netting a bait out of the bait tank
and look up as your board pops back up. 😟
My largest fish was in calm slick water. Watching it turn on its side and hammer the bait with mouth open and gills flaired gets my blood pumping.
     
Bait was fairly easy.
Striper, Its what's for supper.

Thanks for the report. Those filet chunks look really clean and tasty. I like soaking mine in ice water as well along with some salt.
Did you happen to weigh that bass?

The boga grips read 8 lbs. Though I've not checked their accuracy.
She was a football shaped bass, that's for sure.
