Went fishing today. Air temp, low 50s. Surface water temp, low 50s.

Decided to boat all the way to the north end and see what happens. Got 1 nibble on a DS. Thinking it's a perch since it stole my bait. Working my way down, but going against the wind.

Found a little spot with some cover that had the water super slick. Was nice there for a bit. With it being so smooth, I spotted a ~2# LMB in shallow water. Maybe 2-3'. Looks like I was fishing too deep earlier.

I start chucking all my lures at it, but no action from it. Lost track of it as it was roaming. I pitch my DS on the dock right next to where I last saw it. Let it soak and nada. Reel it in and as I'm about to pull it out of the water, a fish jumps at it trying to grab it. Startled me, lol. Drop it back down and next thing I know, I'm surrounded by 6-7 LMB. Not giants. Looked like 12-16" range. They wouldn't bite the DS. One of them kept trying to attack my weight. I tie on weightless setups and nothing. I see them cruising around. Tried swimbait and tubes. Bah. I worked that area for about an hour trying to get something to bite.

I guess I'll have to go back to that area again next time. Stop off at a few other areas along the way with no action. I'm starting to get that skunk feeling again.....

Working a point with a football, I feel a tick, then a tap. Then weight. Set the hook and woot! Fish on!!!! Not a big one, but a bass is a bass. ~12" SMB. I'm thinking maybe I found the right spot. Worked that point a little bit longer. Only managed to get another bite on a DS, but it didn't stick.

Stopped off at a couple more points along the way and that's it. 1 fish for 5 hours of fishing in the wind and cold. But no skunk, so woot.
