A Forgettable Day...For Certain


With another tournament on tap for this coming Saturday, June 11th, Wayne and I made plans to spend some time on the water this morning, looking for clues about where we might be better served to start Saturday morning. It was a worthwhile venture that simply failed ever to materialize once we got on the water.

We hit three different spots, with only very minimal results. After about five hours of fishing, the only things we had recorded were one bass weighing about a pound and a quarter or pound and a half on a topwater bait, a couple of swirls at a different topwater, and a couple of small white perch, which we shook off rather than take time to boat.

The water level was rising throughout the morning, which may have had some impact on our lackluster bite, and, of course, the annual spawning activity could have been a factor as well.

In any event, if all goes as planned, we will be back on the water Thursday morning for a few hours to see if we can improve on today's dismal results.

During a stop at West Neck Marina on our way home today, we found "Doc" cleaning up his boat after a morning outing, in which he caught one small bass and an 18-inch flounder.
