Another good morning bite on Lochloosa.

We kept over 20 (they are still in the icebox, haven't even done a real count yet) and had a good time.

It was HOT out there. We quit at 11:30.

Funny thing about today was how many bites we missed. They were short-striking the jig/minnow combos we were pulling. We could have caught two limits if we had taken every fish that hit. It was really unusual.

And I am not all that fond of the sickle hooks now either after trying them out for the last two or three weeks. Seems I have lots of misses on them compared to a regular hook.

They are sharp as can be, but are not sticking the fish (sank one in my middle finger today).
