Not a good report. Everything we had been working on and recording to use as
blue-print went up-side-down last night.

Start time 8:40 pm - stopped 1:30 am

Wind out of NE 9pm 10.4 mph bara press 29:90
NE 10pm 12.7 - gusts 18.4 " " 29:94
NE 11pm 11.5 " " 29:94
NE Mid 8.1 gusts 20.7 " " 29.96
NE 1am 11.8 " 21.8 " " 29:96

We worked 4 brush pile, lost several, hooks, weights, & line (no signiciant catch)
numbers or quality. Wind was heavy problem - boat movement - spec's do not like
to have their prey jumping around - no matter how good bara. pressure is.

Moved from East to West side lake worked couple good holes that produce in daylight
hours - zip - zero

Move up to hole we were using for past 3 outings to establish various modes and hole
were complete void of any fish.............shad jumping as usual, bait fish ( but in much
less numbers than past) Bugg - flyin varmit no problems - wind blew them away.

Summation - Not a good night even though looked good on paper.....unble to get
anything going - cut our time, pack it in to go another day............

Cant win em all. I got to sit and watch tv. Would have rather been watchin minners in a light even if the fish werent bitin.

Amen brother, "words cannot describe the mental pleasure you get from night fishing"
Not so top of line night, means nothing to the commradship, night sky and surroundings
of being on the water..............

Its just, just so peaceful............."life is good"

Sometimes you go catching and sometimes you go fishing.

Still a good night....................

Not doubting that in the least. It's always good to be on the water!
