2/11/17 fishing report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Got on the water about 8:30 am.  Put in at Orleans trail and found water 43.4 degrees.  Warmest I found toward the end of the day was 45.8.  Water is really clear.  5 to 8 foot clarity around Orleans.  Fished for the first time with an Alabama rig.  Caught 1 (a 15 1/2 inch largemouth) and missed 1.   Caught 20 fish total.  3 were keepers.  Also caught an 18 1/2 walleye on a Megabass 100+1 in Pro Blue.  Caught a keeper smallmouth on a rock crawler in phantom green.  Caught the biggest largemouth on the Megabass. It went 16 1/4 inches.  Ran into btlifes2short  and we talked for a little bit.  The weather was absolutely lovely except the wind blew harder than the forecast.  NOAA said 8 to 10 mph winds, but they were gusting higher than that.  I should have used some sunscreen because my face got sunburned pretty good.   Got off the water at 5:00 pm.

Good to meet you today Skeeter!!!  That's a beautiful boat you have, thanks for telling me what time it was.?. I ended up with 12 and would have had a small limit, most of mine were on the jig.
