Duo Records Slow Day on Northwest

Jerry and his friend, Eddie (pictured here) were casting before 6 o'clock this morning, and Eddie quickly caught this nice fish, which fell just an ounce shy of 2 lbs., along with a smaller one.

It was an hour and 15 minutes into the fishing day, though, before Jerry caught his first and only fish of the day. "The bass maybe would have stretched to 12 inches if I had fanned the tail," he said.

Conditions weren't too bad when these two anglers began their day. In fact, they described it as "comfortable, with overcast skies, and water temps in the high 70s. Water clarity was great."

After they had boated that third fish, however, it came time to start digging. "We plundered through our tackle boxes to hopefully find a lure that would land another fish or two," said Jerry. "Unfortunately, we couldn't find such a lure."

And so the reports of slow days on the water continue.
