Thursday, Aug 23, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: "This is just fantastic."
Fishing Highlights:
Things started out great with fish getting hooked and netted one after the other. As the day went on the weather got worse and a cold front moved over us. The bite slowed and the fish were testing our patience. Persistence paid off as we hooked some of the biggest fish of the day and put quite a few in the net.The fishing is great. Overcast skies and 52-55 degree weather. The water temperature was between 48-51 degrees and Stained.
