I hit the water at dawn and cruised up to Indian Creek. I started marking scattered fish so I set the lines out. Right on the point of Indian CreekI boated a fish. A nice 25" after lines were in for all of 5 minutes! I thought it was going to be a hot day. Wrong!

Inside Indian Creek the fish were popping up one at a time here and there so I started casting the small coves and points. The fish were there but I couldn't get a bite with anything I threw. Very frustrating.

So I decided to head up lake. I checked a couple spots along the way but saw nothing. I started trolling again at Moorman's and saw a few scattered fish but three laps got no results. I cruised farther and went a little past the big trestle and saw even less fish. Maybe I didn't go far enough again.

I took a break and went back to R31 and casted around a while but all I got was practice. I guess I'll try again Monday.

Later
