Hello all,
Barrett provided today. Here's the details though. Met Chuck at 0415 at pigs and we went our separate but similar ways, knowing we'd meet up later. At 0430 there was that light wind from the north and temp was already warm. Water temp was 80. I went to the mouth of Hauser and Becky's cove, managed to get a total of 8 bass the biggest being a 3 pound 5 ounce fish that fought like a tuna.
- Big bubba award for the day for me
Nature moment of the day was watching an Osprey not get a fish. Pretty cool to see the attempt though. Didn't get a picture of that, but here's a picture of him thinking about better times.
- I have to think about fish I missed too.
Wandered in the shallows of Hauser with mostly topwaters and got 5 more. Thinking it was a bit slow. Hadn't seen many ( maybe any ) topwater boils. And then we did. The topwater chase turned on and there were boils pretty much anywhere you'd look. It was a blast, and I think whatever you threw in the area was actually ok. I was throwing the usual jerkbait which is my personal favorite lure, but everyone was catching. It lasted for about an hour and then got both quiet and windy. It seems there's a perfect amount of wind to really get things moving. Also, the water got up to a toasty 85. Ended the day with 22 bass. Done fishing around 1200.
