Today I headed out very late in the morning fishing from 11:00a.m. to 1:30p.m. It was very hot as I anticipated but stuck through it and of coarse my patients as it usually does payed high dividends. And again not much of any size but A great time out none the less. I got a sunburn the previous trip so today took my shirt off to get alittle all over. The fish seemed to be suspended 2 feet off the bottom today but scattered picking up 1 or 2 every 15-20 minutes. I started off really slow and actually thought i may of got my first skunk of the year but after adjusting to conditions I started to produce some fish. Yet another great expierance out on the water in my Cabela's Waders !
