I had a cup of grass shrimp and was looking for Shell Crackers but got on some nice fat brim instead. I did catch one Shell cracker and 4 specks, threw back 3 non gut hooked specks. The catfish was fun on the 10ft cane pole, caught

Yep, it's been windy, lots of temp swings, have not been able to fish where I've been wanting to, but still, I've seen fish over the last two weeks or so and have not been able to catch'em. Things changed today.

Bottom line- I went fishing two days- four fish total. One nice one, two mediums and a dinkie. I use my fish tank thingie so I can ride them around the lake before setting them loose.
It was a slow day out on the channel of ol' saint john's river. Current was stronger than usual but did manage to bring home 4 specks. And caught my first Shad fish, jumpy little thing. And the dogs were happy, if I would have came home empty
