Scenic trip to Secession with Sinkermaker

Don and I arrived at the ramp just about daylight and we tightlined jigs down the lake and back past the bridge. We got two right at the start and figured we were in for some action.



However, things slowed wayyyy down. We ended up with a decent mess for a meal, which Don graciously gave to me. After getting up at 4 AM and getting back home at 4:30 PM, I was 2nd guessing keeping them. But they are all cleaned and in the fridge, so all is good.




This was my first trip in quite a while and the weather was considerably cooler than the past few weeks. A welcome change and probably will motivate me to start back pestering the fish.
Don, as always, is a gracious host and his boat is a fishing machine Thanks for letting me tag along.
(I left 3 whole for a buddy that likes them that way. I normally fillet everything)
