The water was cold. The fish were sluggish. The weather was nice.

Took the jetboat about 5 miles up the river, hitting all the good winter holes. First fish I caught, on about my 10th cast, was a 16.5 incher. That would be the best one all day. Seven hours of fishing, about a dozen smallmouths and a few largemouths. About 7-8 of them were between 14 and 16.5 inches. Caught them on a variety of lures, everything fished slow.

No people. No fishermen, no canoeists, no campers, no swimmers. Eagles, hawks, herons, squirrels, a mink. Bluffs unobscured by foliage. Bare sycamores.

I love winter fishing.
