The NEW HAT episodes .....

[Ketchn]

So in an effort to keep the image up , I got me a new straw hat !
My other one was a really cheap one and was falling down pretty fast lately .
The new straw hat is a nice rig and did what was expected without flaw .
Fish came fast and easy like always at that spot .
12 foot of water or less and best was in 8 to 10 .
Seemed to really favor a "smoke" color at one stop .
Especially casted way out and drug back really slowly "ticking" the bottom .
Only went from 7 to 9:30 this morning and he had 18 in the box when we left .
ratio of keepers to shorts was 1 to 8 or so .
water temp was 83 and the barometer was high as a cats back as they say .
Strong south wind ,bright sunshine and got warm FAST out there .
bites ranged from really hard takes to soft little pecks and all in between .
greater Canadian geese were really busy early honking up a storm .
hope you enjoy the photos ,and thanks Slab for the expansion on my attachment files uploader .
