    Not a good report. Everything we had been working on and recording to use as
    blue-print went up-side-down last night.

    Start time 8:40 pm - stopped 1:30 am

    Wind out of NE 9pm 10.4 mph bara press 29:90
    NE 10pm 12.7 - gusts 18.4 " " 29:94
    NE 11pm 11.5 " " 29:94
    NE Mid 8.1 gusts 20.7 " " 29.96
    NE 1am 11.8 " 21.8 " " 29:96

    We worked 4 brush pile, lost several, hooks, weights, & line (no signiciant catch)
    numbers or quality. Wind was heavy problem - boat movement - spec's do not like
    to have their prey jumping around - no matter how good bara. pressure is.

    Moved from East to West side lake worked couple good holes that produce in daylight
    hours - zip - zero

    Move up to hole we were using for past 3 outings to establish various modes and hole
    were complete void of any fish.............shad jumping as usual, bait fish ( but in much
    less numbers than past) Bugg - flyin varmit no problems - wind blew them away.

    Summation - Not a good night even though looked good on paper.....unble to get
    anything going - cut our time, pack it in to go another day............

    Amen brother, "words cannot describe the mental pleasure you get from night fishing"
    Not so top of line night, means nothing to the commradship, night sky and surroundings
    of being on the water..............

    Its just, just so peaceful............."life is good"
