54-55℉ Water Temp
Wheelhouse Guy was there when I arrived, no golden's. John W. with a friend arrived soon thereafter with me down on the NE side getting nothing. WHG was getting a few jumpers. The female friend missed a jumper then John caught a couple. I got a small jumper on the orange Shower Blows and a toothy on the KVD 2.5. I stayed way longer than I should have. By the time I was heading North in the boat it had clouded up and gotten pretty windy. I went to Big Bass Point. In the first 20 mintes, I had a 16-incher in the boat on the Rage Swimmer. Then it went off the rails for a bit as I missed a fish, I caught pike which made me retie and the fish weren't in the pads in the bay. By the time I got to Double Cane, I was stuck in neutral. I had to set down and think. The plan was to try out a little deeper and drift to the starting spot. Just on the other side of the cane, I caught fish on three straight casts then drifted into them when I didn't notice the anchor didn't hold. Was not happy about that. I got the 17-incher a little before the starting spot. I was getting tired so I quit at 11AM. It's amazing with the high water how little sign there is of the reeds. Water temp is 15 degrees behind last year.

Todd thought we should maximize fishing time so I took us to F Flat. He quickly got the big bass of the night. Fish weren't on topwater. I ended up getting skunked. They were super shallow for the most part and people were on most of the docks so we couldn't get to them. Todd ended up with 7 bass and 2 pike, so it was a productive trip.
