Got out yesterday morning for the first time in awhile. Probably about the middle of one of the worst colds I have ever had in my life. But the alarm went off and I was eager. Eager didn't last long. lol Got on the water around 0630. Only lasted a couple of hours. Caught a barely keeper eye right off the bat on an RC. seen a lot of fish and bait. But the bite was not there. Gave out after about an hour. But didn't want to go home. Had my trolling rods with me so I went old, lazy, sick man style, and started trolling. Only mention that because of what happened. I have caught small bass trolling. Usually the occasional small, small mouth. But out of no where I got smacked hard on a fire tiger shad wrap. 17 inch healthy large mouth. Wasn't sure what I had until he came up and cleared the water by a foot. That was a nice finish to a great day!!! Not much of a report, but it was one of those " glad to be alive mornings". Believe me. I don't often have a hallmark moment. lol Not many out for such a nice morning. Water had a little color to it over around Cedar Ridge area.
Clear sky.
