47* and a 10mph wind when I left the house this morning. That kept me hiding from the wind and I wasn’t venturing far from the ramp. The fish weren’t committing like usual today, half of my fish came unbuttoned and a few acted nice. The dark

Was going to take this weekend off, but woke up this morning to a slight breeze (was forecasted for double digits @ sunrise) & decided to hook up the boat. No sooner than I'm ready to travel to my destination, Lake Jesup, the wind starts

In-laws arrived and the fish started biting. How awesome is that. Prolly caught over a dozen on a very short morning. Longlining at a slightly faster than normal speed for me, 1.2. -1.3 mph
