That was the theme for today. We left the house with a light breeze but by the time we reached the Grove it was kickin plus water was high and muddy. We made our way to a quite canal out of most of the wind but no dice. The fish wouldn't co-operate. We then headed deeper into the marsh to get away from the muddy water and we found better water. We fished jigs and shiners but it took Linda to break the ice by throwing a beetle spin up against the bank. Wham, bass number one in the boat. I was pitching a shiner up against the bank when I had a bass gobble him, bass number 2 in the boat. A little further down another bass hit my shiner. Then it was Linda's turn and now we were even at 2 bass each. I had one more chance to come out on top when a larger bass hit my shiner and got hooked up but it headed into some grass and came off. We called it a day and headed home. Well we ran into something I had never seen before. The main Orange Grove canal had 2 foot waves in it and I had to idle for a mile to the intracoastal and calmer waters. It wasn't the best day but it was better than some and we are thankful for it.
