3/20 - At Least It Was Warm.

[rps]

Second day of Spring Break today. Much warmer than Saturday but sunny. And after glass like conditions until 9:30, the wind became very strong. I went up river to try and find white bass and walleye.

I don't like foot control trolling motors - my balance is not that good. For years I ran a bow mount hand steer. When I bought this boat, I put one of the digital Minn Kotas on so I can steer from the rear when I troll and I keep the foot pedal at the house. Today it was position the boat, cast and retrieve, reposition the boat. Flat wore me out.

I threw a white grub jig, a silver buddy, and a flicker shad today. Two large mouth and two white bass. I kept thinking I would pick up more white bass or a crappie, but at day's end I released the two in the well. At least this time of year, they stay healthy in the well.

Well above Beaver the water temp was 53.5. At HI it hit 54.8 by the time I pulled out.

Better that doing yard work.
