Turnback Time

    No we are not talking Cher singing on a battleship here. We are talking a white bass report,

         Mrs. BilletHead and I had a pretty nice morning outing . Water temps 61 to 63.5 degrees. Windy, very windy and overcast. Sprinkle or two. Shot one shoal and stayed below the second. Started by anchoring in two foot of water. Mrs. BilletHead had two fish before I could get a cast in. We would work an area. Pull anchor drop and repeat. Pat used floating line. I literally fought sink tip in the shallow water. Getting snagged a bunch. Actually she was beating me up pretty bad until I switched to floating line. Clousers would go deep enough and snagging problem disappeared. In the thin water just smallish males. As we worked to a max depth of five feet larger fish showed up. There was a stretch of maybe a half mile of straight river we fished between eight AM until ten-thirty before picking up and heading to the ramp. in the deeper water we used the trolling motor until we hit fish and dropped anchor again. Pink over white Clousers and chartreuse over orange is all we used.

The Mrs. shooting one out,

    I caught one of the biggest whites I have ever caught today. The rule here is 15 inches. Got a good measurement at home. Wouldn't make 18 inches but close,

Totals when we remembered to click :) .

  Never seen another soul until we got back down river. Good day to spend with my bride and best friend,

           She only started putting me to shame and then I caught up :) . You are right I can curl up there and take a nap. Would of slept longer but some guy with me  during jig fest kept saying oh did you see that I missed one! Hey if you could get me over to that log I bet there is a big brown over there!  Look at all those fish! Wonder who that would of been? 😆,

Glad that Pat caught some fish! Sounds like a great time buddy.

          She needed this trip worse than I. First trip out for her. After she got her last turkey I asked her what she wanted to do. FISH!
