Rain, Cold, Current.

[RSBreth]

Fished yesterday from the ramp near 65 up. Water is cold, there was some current due to the recent rains, and it was not the funnest trip I've had.

Some gentleman was parked idling his car by the ramp, so when I pull around to drop the canoe there he pulls up like he's been waiting all morning to gab at someone.

"Need help?"

"Yeah, I drive down here with the canoe just hoping someone will help me launch, because I can't do it alone, then also have to wait 'til someone shows up to help me load."

He says "Sorry" and meekly drives away.

Yeah, I know, he was probably trying to be friendly, but Springfield Lake park is a known cruising spot for "alternative lifestyle" types, and I hate people who just hang around boat ramps in general anyway. Best to shut them down early.

Caught a couple in the rain I didn't bother to take pictures of, just little guys anyway.

All on either the soft jerkbait or wacky rigged stickbait.

Oh, and check my blog later today, I'll post about "bargain bin" rods and reels.
