I fished banker's hours today--got on the water at 0830. Nothing was cooking in the open lake early in the day, but eventually I found a few. Moved back into the creeks & things were much better. First place was an old laydown holding a number of fish, including this 14-incher. (I need to work on my photo technique for bright sun & sun glasses on.)


Soon, a 13-incher hit another minnow, and then a second 13. This fish was flopping around instead of posing for the shot.


By the time I landed several nice fish in this creek/cove, it was lunch time & from then on I fought the wind and these things.


I released 10s and smaller and 13s & over, but still brought home 4 or 5 very nice fish. Rounding out the day's action, there were half a dozen greenies, a couple of small ringers, 3 chains, a catfish, and as many small bream as I felt like pulling off the bank with a Kailin black/blue triple threat. The chains were fond of this pattern, too.
