Very nice day, lake was glass all morning.  75 degree air temp when I left around 1 PM.

Weather was too nice for the fish.  It was slow, caught 5 bass total, A couple of them were keeper spots, and also caught an eating sized walleye.  Drug the ned rig around for a few and caught a couple on the 2.8 swim bait.  Just a bite here and there, no pattern that I could make out.

Couple of boats came into the ramp the same time I did, none of them had caught a single fish.  Talked to someone that was fishing mid lake where they found shad, loons and all that and they only caught a couple of bass.  Sounded like a tough day all around, but I'm sure someone, somewhere on this lake had a good day.

But hey, a good day to go fishing!

WT 43-46.

I was always told that is why it's called fishing not catching 🤣😂. Those beautiful early winter days I never have had much luck either. But those are days to be out without tons of warm clothes on. Glad you caught a few and enjoyed you time out. That is the more important thing the older I get
