65-58℉, Cloudy to Partly Cloudy with occasional showers, 0-25mph SW NE
When I arrived at the GOMH I had to wait a little while for a shower to pass. There was one guy fishing on the SW side. He had gotten a couple of jumpers. I got a jumper on the Swim Shad, Cubby/Minnow (Pink) and the firetiger X-Rap size 6. I also got the golden bullhead on the X-Rap, lost another one and had a bite that felt very crappie like get off. A squall passed through just before 6PM and after it passed I figured that was my key to head for the Trophy.
I departed the Grumpy Old Man Hole at 6PM in hopes I would be able to recreate the magic of yesteryear at the mouth of the Platte River in Lake Sullivan. To do that, I would need the assistance of a boat obviously. By the time I had loaded up and was underway the wind had calmed down significantly just like it was forecast to do. The water temp was 52℉, which was right but the fish just weren't there other than a few straggler bass. I went a little way up the river, but that was unproductive. I got surprised when a front quickly blew over bringing some rain. But that made the bow light work, so I can't complain. I ran the hay flat looking for fish with my Go For Wild Headlamp. Unfortunately, the water isn't as clear as it could be and there was some ripple as well. I mostly spied shiners and a few small sunnies. Lantern Man was at the bridge and had only gotten one silver bullhead. I was starting to get cold so I called it a night at 10PM.
