Landwhale and I launched at 6am to clear skies and a southwind. It was almost chilly, but the sun took care of that real quick. Water was a chilly 61.5º with lots of debris floating around. The current was ripping and I was getting bit, but couldn't stick them. We headed over to one of our favorite spots, the current was barely moving there. I did manage 2 legals in the area though. Both on the 4" FLurry. Chartreuse/gold and Minnow Magic.

The wind had turned onshore at some point making for a wind against current situation that wasn't favorable. Then it switched to an East wind and Steve said it was acting like it would stay. It did. We moved back to our starting spot and the drifts were real quick with that wind. But, I was getting bit. I had a 4" Paddlerz in New Penny on a Sled Head and I managed 4 legals and a short in the next hour or so. Around 9:30 the wind had annoyed us enough that we packed it in. I had to be off the water soon anyways.
