Jeff and I were on the water by 06:30. It was a nice morning with the temp at 71°. We headed up river at the first stop Jeff had a couple on a square bill a couple of stops later I had a keeper on a square bill. It went down hill from there. We fished almost all the way to Carrs. We stopped at Martin Hollow and I picked one up on a jig. Frustration set in and I fired up the Verado and headed down river. We hit one spot which gave up a couple then headed to Piney. In Piney we Carolina rigged and caught a few. Somewhere along the way Jeff had a keeper on a Carolina rig. We also fished School House Hollow but it wasn’t very productive. We ended up catching 14 and quit at noon. The water was 82-84° and when we quit it was 91°. By the time I got home it was 96°. I’m staying in the AC for the rest of the day.

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

Yes it is too thick. I appreciate the offer though. I have found some .061 that I think will do the job.

Thanks. It’s too hot for anyone to be out in the weeds. Maybe when it’s cooler.

I am modifying a lead mold and need to find some wire. Stainless steel is preferred but not absolute. I have wire to .043 in but would like to find some in the .060 range. Any help is appreciated.

I run a 36 volt Ulterra. My batteries are new everything has been working well. However yesterday fishing into a 22 mph wind I noticed that even though I was on spot lock the boat would not hold on the spot. It would sometimes be a couple of boat lengths down wind from where it was set. Boat scale = 0

Wouldn’t you have to get a driver?

Really hot weather can stop tomatoes. Mine did the same but are going now.

The weather was nice and boat traffic was minimal as was my catching. Thanks for the invite. Let’s try Cape again Monday.

That will be interesting to follow. A couple of months ago I found a cove at Stockton full of curly leaf pond weed. I went back to fish it Thursday and it was all gone. Where?

It topped out at 94° here today. It was 91° when we left Hartley this pm.

A guy whose boat was totaled in the Cape Fair storm had found a used boat that needs some love. He is looking for a detailer. Can you recommend anyone so I can pass the information along?

I ran across these in the back of a shelf. They are Motor Guide. If any of you have a use for them I will send them to you for the cost of postage.

You didn’t get all of them. They are all over my windshield too.

Jeff and I got on the water by 06:30. We fished from Cape to above Walnut Springs. The sky was very cloudy with fog in the area. The air temp was 71° when we launched and 84° when we loaded. There was no pattern except shallow. Even on channel banks the fish were super shallow. We caught fish on a variety of crank baits, spinner baits, and jigs. Wacky worms and buzz baits were used but didn’t work. We caught 21 bass and one flat head. The size was small but it sure beat mowing the yard. We fished around a bunch of bait eaters. Jeff left a couple of cranks and I left several jigs.

I am not a striper guy, but if you plan to get into this you should be able to shorten the learning curve by hiring a guide.

They are yours.

I used to do a lot of crappie and white bass fishing and camped at the lake for a month or more at a time. I made my own jigs as well as some for friends. Now I mostly just bass fish. I have a variety of jigs that are not and won’t be used by me. Flat rate shipping is around $10. I’m not looking to make a profit so if any of you want them, pm me and I will send them for $15 including shipping. The pic isn’t all of them.

That sure beats what I was doing this morning. Glad you got to go.

You are missing the point completely.

I joined this site because it was a family site for fishing and hunting. All that has gone away. It reminds me of why I quit going to the barbershop and early morning coffee.

Who could blame him for leaving a nonpaying limited power position.

It was a beautiful morning. All it lacked was biting fish. Thanks for the trip.

What grain is it. Most flour is wheat which I’ve never seen gluten free.

No gluten, so are you using rice flour, oat flour or something else?
