I’m usually a short trip kinda guy lately. Today we got a a break from the 40* mornings and the wind was very low. I didn’t start til about 8 or 8:30 after some stuff had to be done first. One of those I could’ve waited for a while longer. I brought the boat by where I work and used their grease gun to try to grease the tilt pivot on the outboard and the other was the bearing buddies. Motor is going to get the zirc fittings replaced as I believe the grease in them is hard and not letting fresh grease to go by. My left trailer bearing acted as it should but the right one oozed some grease and water mix that didn’t make me happy at all. Left for another day I headed to fish. No wind when I put in but the fishing started slow. Finally found some to chase the skunk as I worked my way back through my office. I just told my queen that today was Bass day. I caught a dozen, maybe more. They were chasing some just hatched minnows with zeal. Most were between 6 and 10” but three were of size but still not super size. Total catch today was forty I’m sure with a lot of them being small gill varieties under 5” but a few were good fish. I brought my Sam Heaton dipping rod and it did well also, getting the biggest bass of the day at about 2lbs. Four good crappie made the rarely carried cooler of ice for a friend who’s out on disability after a bad car wreck. All the others went free. I didn’t pull the boat til 3:30, making it a very long day for me. The fish never really turned off and the temps went to near 70. My queen was off trashing around with the girls so I had no need to run home and it felt great. I took no pic’s today, not even a cooler shot of my friends crappie. I also got visited by three hen turkeys that were magnum sized and the owls sang to me for a while. I heard a few gators talking but saw none, fine by me. Sorry about the pics, I’ll do better next time. Final note, water temp was 56* so I felt that was a good trip for those water temps here. Hope y’all get out soon and stay warm and healthy……..Skeet.
