was on my way. I was daydreaming hoping for some top water action and then suddenly reality hit. OMG!... I totally spaced and
forgot today is the second Tuesday of the month and Murray is closed. After a few choice words, I slowly made a U-Turn and realized
I could only blame myself as I usually keep track of what lakes are open and closed. So after putting the boat away I thought I did
not want to stay home and quickly started organizing tackle, grabbing a couple rods and started loading up one of my kayaks. It was
crazy and I was running around trying not to forget anything and finally I was on my way to the SD river. I figured getting there in
the late morning is better than staying home and being cranky about Murray being closed. I honestly was a little out of it because
I did not plan to fish the river.
Anyway...to keep it simple I missed a bite deep in the cover on a Tokyo rig/senko which is always a bummer and got lucky as I avoided
the skunk when a bass inhaled my Texas rigged craw bait I flipped over a small branch. The bass put up a good fight and was
pretty fat for her size. I left pretty quickly after that and driving on the way home, I was still glad I choose to go fishing despite
the set back in the morning.
