Only 2 hours to fish...

Full moon officially tomorrow, but went today for a few hours, since I was pre-warned by county Res mgmt that a bass tournament (ugh) is underway tomorrow, first one since "covid". Over 20 boats on 380 acres - I'll stay home, and go around 3 to mess, I mean, fish, around them.

Anyway, I caught this magnificent 12" 1.2 lb cracker, and let her/him (not sure, too big to eat, not p-ing) go. But 3 big knot-head blue bulls rode the cooler to a foil-wrapped doom on my grill, with plenty of spice, butter and garlic.

I'm raising my own worms, so I drop them on beds I find with side scan and PLS, or I twitch a trout magnet a La' Randy. Small jig head; 1/32 sickle Lite-Wire or Daiwa JDM Gekkabijin #8 1g.


And a cigar is just a cigar, or, what used to be the finest $4 cigar on the planet. Dang inflation. Good thing I have a big stash.


Cherish the good waters while you can. Best regards to all.
