Harney 11/15

[skeetbum]

At long last I was able to get up and get everything put together so that I could be on the water shortly after the sun. Calm winds and little traffic and temps right at 60* made for a pleasant start to the day. Pic was at the ramp facing East, and those clouds stayed for most of the trip.The fish weren't super busy but kept me going until I finally found an area that did better than most anywhere else. The fish in the pic was #4 and came close to the 13 mark and was the big for the day, though 2 others were almost the same. Catch for the day was 33 and 7 with shoulders made the ride home while anything under 11 went back. Neighbor was glad to take 3 of the 7 and was surprised to see them still swimming. Brownie points there.Around 9:30 the wind was noticeable and about 10 I had enough and wound em in. I ran a 12 rod assortment today with 6 spider, 2 with 3/8 and 3" curl tails, and 4 out the sides with spinners. Everything produced but the brighter colors were slower, I believe, because of the cloud cover that i had for most of the trip. Purple body and chartreuse tail was a clear favorite. Once again the spinners produced several good fish but I believe I need to go to a #2 hook as I missed several for no reason. Also lost a real goodun just as it came to the surface. All in all a fine trip though short. Battery gremlin showed his head, not sure if it's battery or charger, this week for diagnosis. Hope Y'all get out.......Skeet.
