That's how I'd describe "Doc" Murdock's day today on West Neck Creek. In those 2.5 hours, he boated five largemouth and one striper.
His best largemouth was this one, which weighed in at 1.6 lbs. He also caught four others, including one that tipped the scales at 1.4, two at 1.3 and one at 1.2.
The water temperature today was 69 degrees, with winds blowing out of the NNE at 15 mph. The air temperature ranged from 62 to 65 degrees, and the barometer reading was 30.17 inches and rising. "Doc" reported the water as clear and normal level.
He's looking forward to this coming week, 'cause he has some time off and plans to see if he can keep his "winning ways" going. As I understand it, he'll be spending at least three more days on the water between now and week's end, and I know he'll enjoy every minute of it. Doesn't that saying go something like this: "The worst day fishing still is better than the best day at work"? Maybe that's not exact, but everyone knows what I mean.
Here's wishing you nothing but "Tight Lines!" each and every day, "Doc. Catch a big 'un for me, too, while you're at it.
Conditions, as "Doc" related them to me in an email, were thus: air temp - 77 degrees, water temp - 67 to 69 degrees, winds from the west at 7 mph, relative humidity 77 percent, and barometric pressure 29.87 inches and rising.
"Doc" also was kind enough to snap some ramp photos for me this week, and I'm indeed grateful for that. I always appreciate all favors--both great and small.
