Well for the bagillionth time, the weathermen seemed to get it all wrong. Forecast called for 60 degrees at the worst post front. It was comfortable in shorts when I left the house. When I arrived at the lake it was a cool 50 degrees. The parking lot was FULL so I wasn't the only one to assume it was going to be a nice day. In a rush to get one of the last parking spots I left my jacket in the truck. I would come to regret it in the next few hours. Fished 7:30 to 11. The winds steadily increased from the North with fog and mist increasing as well. I started off flipping reeds with a jig. I ended up landing one before heading back to the ramp to get my jacket. I resumed fishing in the same cove but worked my way down a grass flat in deeper water anchoring every now and then. I caught another 2#er on a watermelon chatterbait. I let the bait fall to the bottom while warming my hands up. This caused me to fish really slow which is always a plus when fishing a chatterbait. I called it quits around 10:45. Thermometer in the truck read 48 degrees as I pulled out of oak thicket around 11. Definitely not the fishing trip I envisioned but caught a couple. Thanks for reading and for the close to 10,000 page views over the last few years.
