20170521-i made a bid on fishing a remote spot with only an hour point 5 to fish and struck out. After a couple days of the severe cold front drop in temperature, the fish left the shallows and I did not have the time to go and find them. The cove temp just a few days prior was a whopping 74 degs now just short of 62 degs… that does something to fish biology… they head out deep. Nothing but negativity here.

Knowing this I could have stayed home and waited it out weather-wise… but I believe to be a good fisherman you need to experience this… not once but over and over again. Sure today was a beat down … I'm glad to have experienced it.

First fish after a long wait for Major peak was a mere welcomed 6” b.gill. then a b.crappie bite on the worm… how pathetic is that?... lol

Soon afterward I was rewarded with the best bite of the day … a nice chunky R.Bass that pulled a little drag. The turtle bite was the bitter pill… I packed it in what was left of the major period.
