Great Weather

[Bill Babler]

Got out of Baxter about 6:15 this morning, under perfect conditions, I thought. First location my client and I Had 4 keepers in the boat, all big SJ's in about 45 minutes. Nice fish, up to 3.5 lbs. As the morning continued and the clouds and the breeze kept building, I just knew it was going to keep on keeping on. NOPE, We were done. Fished from Baxter to Campbell Point and only boated 1 more short, a perch and a goggle eye. Is that depressing or what?

Kept telling the client, they are going to start, it is just to great of a condition. Looked from shallow to deep on all my secret hiddy holes and the screen on the graph, was flat as a pancake. No shad or suspended fish, no nothing.

Might be my last day before heading to Alaska Next week for about a month. Beck and I might go out tomorrow, but we might go trout fishing instead. Keep hearing of this great Buzz Bait Bite, but Chris said they were not having it up the James this morning. Might have just been a tough day, but I also might just have stunk it up.

Keep the home fires buring, see you guys when I get back, the latter part of September

Good Luck Bill

What a bummer!

Days like those always have the feel of something crazy going to happen as the the sunlight and breeze pick up. Sorry to hear it didn't pan out.
