Interesting 50 minute session in the heat.

Had a short stogie so I went fishing. It was hot.

The wide brim hat and slight breeze on my back made it tolerable. Kinda.

I had 4 baits: 2 brown flutter jigs, a ned (brown) and a belly weighted hook with a Stick O (grey/white.

Caught a little one with a flutter jig and proceeded to loose the jig.

Then I hooked a nice one with the other jig and proceeded to lose that one too but not before catching this guy.

Then I used the ned and caught another nice one but he jumped and got off. . Also caught another little one.

Then I got a bite but it got cut off. I suspect a turtle.

I was down to my last bait. and I caught got this guy.

In total, I got 6-7 nice bites. Cigar was done and so was I. It was hot.

Note to Ernie: smoking a stogie while fishing in the heat after working out is a little dicey.

Can I assume UP receding shore?

River is very low. Water is still stained and grass is about to top out in areas. Can't wait for rain to get levels up to get a boat out. Fish were feeding on little minnows, but I could not get a topwater bite (or weightless senko, or hula stick or baby goat on 1/16 oz swing head).

This is the structure that usually holds the baitfish. They are now scattered in the grass.

Short stogie session in the light rain.

Caught six, none bigger than @12". Thus, no pics.

Three on a hair jig and 3 on a Stick-O.

No more bites when the sun peeked out for a bit.

Good job catchin' in July!

Been a while since I've done an after dinner stogie session.

Landed 4 bass (biggest was maybe a pound) and a green sunfish.

Was cool to see the big grass carp finning. They are lake monsters!

I had 2 nice ones on that broke me off. But there was no fight so I'm guessing snapping turtles.

I have not been out in a while. Hopefully Friday somewhere that has water.

Another evening stogie session that resulted in 4 bites (fish). I landed 3...all <12".

But I am going to go broke! I got cut off 5 times. Three were from turtles, I'm certain. Felt the bite, set the hook and pop goes the lure!

A couple of other times I got hung up and my lures broke off when I tugged (gently). There is something sharp down in one of the rock piles.

Today was supposed to be a good day to fish. A strong minor from 8-9p. I don't think the fish got the message. The major we at lunch time but I was walking then.

Nice to have water so close and good for you for taking advantage of it
