Date Fished: 8/7/2008
Water Temperature: 72
Water Clarity: 0 As luck would have it, flash floods and torrential downpours likely muddied my first two choices I'd rather fish on my day off. Forecast was for more storms so I stayed close to home rather than travel and find a muddy stormy mess. I didn't get up when the alarm went off and delayed forward motion for an hour or two. A quick weather check told me the pond was covered with clouds calm winds and air temps not to get over 70. So I thought. Five miles from my destination and I drove out of the clouds and into bright sunny skies and a southern breeze. Not a problem the clouds will catch up to me, or so I thought. I was quickly sweating as I was dressed for the weather that was forecasted. Sunny skies would stay with me the whole time despite being surrounded by threating skies. Must have been in the eye of the storm! A shore fisherman had two decent fish on a stringer so I started working the shore figuring the fish were cruising, or so I thought. In record time I had every rod out of the box and I was cursing myself for wasting gas on this little overfished pond in which five fish in the boat is a good day. Headed for a little patch of milfoil that is easy to pick apart and usually holds several fish, or so I thought. For five years this weed-patch has been the same size, but this year it is growing wild. Finally felt the thunk of a bass fish sucking in a salty piece of plastic but that was the only taker. To much wind to fish it the right way. Flipped several other spots that usually produce, but it wasn't to be today. Finally got fish number two on my first cast working a finesse worm on a jig-head around some rock, but that was short lived as well. Thunder started to rumble nearby so went back to that milfoil bed for one last try. As the skies got darker in the distance, number three and four took a flipped piece of plastic before I called it a day. One fish shy of a good day!
