76-68℉, Thunderstorm to partly cloudy, 2-4mph
WT: 76℉
The forecast I looked at just after midnight said things would be partly cloudy to cloudy no mention of rain or thunderstorms. I didn't re-look at the forecast before I left. I arrived just after 5AM and was off by 5:30AM. As I headed West I thought the cloud cover looked suspiciously like rain. Before I got to SPSI it did start sprinkling. I stopped the boat took out the iPhone to take a picture and there was a flash with an immediate crack of thunder from the direction I just came. I took a couple of pictures then got back on the motor to the nearest dock. I sheltered under a couple of porches. I wasn't really thinking straight thanks to the lightening. I left my note pad exposed to the rain and tackle bags in the boat. Toward the end of the storm when the rain got heavier I went and retrieved that stuff. I didn't get fishing until 7:00AM.
I went back to the South Point Small Island and got three small bass, two of which were over 12-inches. On the last cast before I was going to leave I caught a skinny 18-incher that didn't quite weigh 3lbs. I forgot to take a picture after I weighed it. Shortly after that, I headed to rice point in Channel Inn Bay. I decided to try a craw tube out from the rice before getting to frogging. I was listening to Perfect Day by EMFwhen two loons cruised by the boat. I was just thinking I was looking for a needle in a haystack when the big girl struck.
I ended up in the calm sunny conditions looking at the weed makeup in Channel Inn Bay as much as fishing. I ended up missing something big that bit on the crawtube. It was either a bass or a dogfish. I missed a couple of bites in the pads on the crawtube and caught one dink. As got a dink out of the rice on Big Sexy. Had the craw tube and had an Outkast RT Jig get bit off. It was sunny and I didn't want to put sunscreen on so I headed in at 10AM.
