Bath water, Tunes, & Slab Sauce...

is what defied the odds this morning. Surface water temp started off at 83F & hit 87F before a storm sent me packing at 11am, but before that I was very pleased with today's speck bite for Mid-June. Caught around 30 & kept 14 for the ride home, including the fattest 13 1/2" speck I've ever caught, she weighted 1lb 14oz, if my scale is still good & bit at 10am with the surface water at 86F, as the intro to the Rolling Stone's "Can you here me Knocking" came over the ear buds, Yes, I can & come right cher' in this net, had that moment when feeling like Richard Gene, clenching my fist...WHOOO...most fish were hanging off the creek edge through the lake & bright colors worked best on this cloudy morning & Slab Sauce had them holding the bait more than long enough...tight lines ifn' you get out!......Also came across this Zebco line that changes every 2.5ft from hi-vis orange to hi-vis green, could help out vertical jiggers count down depth...

Wow- For a New York minute Jeff, I thought you were safe-distancing us!:scratchhead:Rofl:cheers2 Quite the bite on J- Guess the other half was right? Interesting line color measurement...for every color group=5'(41 oranges = 200 fow)- easy peasy. Orange ya glad I figured out the math?:Rofl

Noticed that 1st solo fish pic had a ridge on it, maybe the Oakridge Boys on ear pods, Jeffrey?:Rofl Jus' sayin'...:scratchhead

WHOOO, Slabsauce Rocks. Great report. Good to see they hitting in this hot water. Gives me incentive. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Doug, distancing only out of busy schedule, working nights, cortisone shot in shoulder, followed by rehab, walking daily to bust my gut, washout last weekend= no report.... as well as Friday salt visits, ect...No creek channel on J-guess, so that leaves Phantom's mystery lake & that "ridge" on the solo/photo was poor camera eye by self, is actually a shadow, should have picked up off boat floor, was very colorful with a lot of turquoise in the shoulders, like you see in the tail....

Really great half day of fishing Jeff. That big fatty looked so big, nice pic.water temp yesterday where I was fishing was 80. I had a good trip but not as good as yours. Thanks for the pic's and post.

You motivated me with your report, so I went out to some old stomping grounds here on Griffin, and low and behold, I caught some. Wow, my last dozen short trips out have been one hit wonders! One fish and done. But today I pulled in 9 feesh! holy cow, they still do exist!

You had a great day Jeff! I almost went trolling this morning myself but went to beacon 42 instead. That one fish has been eating good, bet there were a good pair of fillets on her. Now that I know my way around a little, we need to go salty in my boat. Holler at me and we’ll go soon.

OK, I threw a change-up, it is actually a "river" channel that you may have been towed from:yikes....BTW FP13 does have the St. John's run within 25 ft of it's west shore, however, is separated by a strip of land....

that looks like a good day regardless of where you were at.
