Well i finally made it out yesterday, but the wind didn't want me fishing. Sad The water temp was 46 and the fishing was sloww, i finally managed a few bites and got one over 7 LBS in the boat. So all in all it was a good day, had to fish slow in about 8 FOW with a blue jig-n-pig. I also got some bites on a redshad brushhog. I think its going to pick up soon.

Well today was NOT the day to go fishing for me lol..

First off i got the boat unloaded an headed across the lake......realized i forgot my poles (because i usually don't take them out)

Second i fished 2 spots with no luck and took off for the 3rd spot......hammered the throttle and looked back to see a blade off my prop go flying through the air :mad: so i had to idle all the way back to the ramp. I tried fishing the bay around the ramp and caught 3 little dinks...it was getting windy so i stayed in the bay, well after i got all the way in the back of the bay it started raining.

Needless to say this was not a good day lol I hope this weekend will be better.
