Left work early yesterday so that I could get the house cleaned up, get a haircut, and fit in some fishing before picking up Reilly at school.
Since I was trying to maximize my fishing to catching quotient, I naturally decided on the Snell Isle Secret Spot, but stopped by Coffee Pot to make a few casts along the way. No bites, but saw a manatee.
The conditions at the secret spot were less than optimal--fifty something degrees with the wind whipping up the water. Using the Yo-zuri was out of the question in that sort of weather, so I tied on a 1/8oz red jighead with a Gulp shrimp (new penny color) and commenced casting.
I had some nice bites here and there, but nothing was big enough to take the whole lure.
I switched to the other side of secret spot and got into a feeding frenzy of some sort. I don't know what kind of fish they were, but they tore up my bait.
By then it was time to head off to pick up Reilly, so I left the secret spot scratching my head, skunked again.
