Brrrrrr, just a bit chilly today but not unusual, just a couple degrees cooler than last year. Actually I was out yesterday (Wed) for a short ride. I joined Mike Ward for a tutoring session on the fine points of gizzard acquisition. We cruised back in around Campers and Mike got all the bait he wanted. There seemed to be a lot there. It was a nice enough day so we pulled some of the gizzards on the boards. The baits got excited often, we got hit 3 or 4 times and boated one in the low 30in range. Quite educational for me. Thanx again, Mike.
So today, Thursday Feb 20th. I launched out at dawn with no problem. There were LOTS of birds fluttering around Webster's but no surface activity. I marked the bait but saw no fish. I ran up to Indian Creek which has always been good this time of year. But not today. Lots of birds fluttering again but only marked single fish here and there. No biters. I trolled outside Indian Creek and up to Grimes and saw a few very scattered fish but still no bites. After checking that area I ran back into Campers since I know there were fish there yesterday. I cast along the banks with several different baits but got no bites. Darn. Hey, at least I was out there.
Later Joel
