Barrett Report June 26

Short report today. Chuck and I got out there at the usual 0430. What was unusual was the there was a steady wind already. Water temp was at 76F. Went to the usual places, but they were a bit windblown and the kayak was hard to keep still. Chuck stayed on the Becky's cove side of Hauser and I went to the little coves along the opposite side of Hauser. Picked up fish on popper, and whopper plopper. Tried a new lure from Megabass called a Gatta-X which is the equivalent of a small plane landing in the water. It worked though and fish went for it. When the sun popped up, the wind died down for a bit and we found busters in the opening of Hauser and Becky's cove. They pretty much hit anything, so they are not picky anymore, you just have to be close. I had a conference call so I had to be out of the water around 0900. Wind was pretty impressive then. There was only about 45-60 minutes of calm.
First fish was early again.

Still a good day albeit quick! This wind is likely going to alter our Sunday plan. It’s refusing to be calm 😕

Yes, so the bay is the plan. But wind early makes the drifts too fast. I guess it’s still June but it seems like our calm morning windows have been very short this year.
