After looking at the forecasts for the week I decided yesterday would be the best day to hit the water. So I headed out and started fishing around 9:45 AM.
Very little wind for the first little bit, but it started picking up within a half hour or so. The first hour was pretty comfortable, but it got steadily windier and colder as the day wore on.
My wife met me at the launch for lunch at around 11:30, and then she joined me on the boat for the next 2 1/2 hours, so she could get some fishing in too.
I had her rigged up with a spinning rod and a floating Rapala for th4e first little bit and then I decided to start teaching her how to use a baitcasting outfit. I figured that if she's gonna fish, she might as well learn the ropes the right way
She learned like a champ!
And after switching up lures for her, she landed her first bass of the year on the baitcaster too!
Yes, that is her "fishing glove" on her hand
I also landed a couple bass, also on bladed jigs. Here's one of them.
I have a tourney on this same lake this coming Saturday. With the torrential rains we're getting today, along with 20-30 MPH winds, and more rain and wind later in the week, I am expecting the water to be high and muddy for Saturday.
Should prove to be interesting
