John and I met up at 6:45a and were on the water soon thereafter.

While moving to the 1st spot, we wondered how fishing would be today. We had a high pressure moving in under a full moon and it was gonna be really windy!

I wanted to start where Bob and I left off but we had not bites whatsoever!

So we moved on the spot #2 where there is a always a fish...or three.

Finally, at 9a, John connected on a 14.5"er on a home painted crank!

And that was it! No more smallies and very few (if any) bites.

We were totally humiliated and humbled! But at least John got one!

We tried a few places while hiding from the wind but nothing.

Then...right before noon, John gets slammed with this hefty channel cat. It definitely gave John a run for his money!

No excuses, we just could not figure them out today.

Tough day for sure!  The wind was unforgiving.  Fish had lockjaw, it seemed.  I broke the crank I  caught the 2 fish on when I smacked it into the trolling motor.  Luckily, I have a few more crankbaits!  Thanks for lugging my butt around, Ernie! smile
