I made the trip to White's to try and catch some smallies. Warming water trend and tolerable weather conditions had me hopeful for that area. I fished from around 9:30am until 3:30pm. At least 5 empty trailers in the lot. Saw these guys at the ramp preparing for Fall survey.
Other boats turned out to be duck hunters. They were out in force. I heard them yelling to each other to avoid accidents.
Water was pretty clear and fishing started tough. I finally got first bite at 11:40am.
This is why I don't like to use the trough.
I finally got something going and found a spot with more than one fish. This one refused to lie still. It was a little longer than the first one.
I snagged that lure and then got a wind knot, so tried different lures. Got one about 12 inches on a jig and then drifted a bit before heading back to the ramp. I was pumped to catch a final dink on the little jerk bait. Ended with the 4 fish. The breeze was pushing me into shore, which made difting a challenge. Nice day overall.

Ha! Happens to all of us but gives a better indication of size of fish...especially when they are FAT. You just gotta talk to them to calm them down.
I once floated by an island and there were two shotguns sticking out of the camouflage. Scared the daylights out of me. A bit too dicey for me.
Pretty nice day to be out and you caught a few. Good deal!

Seriously, they need to start making a measuring device like the ones for your feet. Length and width! These are double wides!

That is actually a great idea. My boat camera is just hard to use with one hand. I have a decent scale now that I can use if I catch a big one.

I had thought about McGyvering something like a tape measure that slides on the measuring stick so you can pull it out and around like a belt to measure girth. Just a thought, but something that would be cool to use as a data point.
