Good for you! Sounds like fishing was just the ticket. I'm envious.
We got a little later than usual start and found ourselves trying to outrun some storms. We had about an hour and a half of fishing before the lightning started and my buddy managed one decent crappie and a pair of dink sunfish. I kept company with the skunk. It ended up raining on and off all day then.
The water is coming down towards normal summer pool and was at a tick under 50 degrees. I spent most of my time tossing my new tiny crankbaits but I knew right off that the water wasn't warm enough to get much attention drawn to them. Had to play with them though. The lake came down another half foot since then so we're going to head out early tomorrow to see if the early, early bite is there yet. High skies, mid-60's and light breeze today but I'm stuck in the house after seeing the eye doctor this morning. Eyes look like an owl's peekers. Look out tomorrow though.
Glad to hear the Mrs. has had some good days so you can duck out for a bit. Hope she's doing well with all of this. Prayers yet to you two!
