We did have a cool late morning hunt on Friday with a hen coming in to our decoys in a pasture and got some good video of her trying to figure out why the decoys were not following her when she walked past.  Played this game for about 45 minutes until she finally got frustrated and walked up into the mountains.

Our initial plan was to fish the bushes because we thought the water temps and the full moon would have the fish migrating towards the banks and bushes. We concentrated on fishing spinnerbaits and flipping soft plastic as well as pig/jig with no takers. We finally decided that the fish we were after had not pulled up, so we started to fish crank baits and finally started to figure them out. Before the day was over, we caught 5 fish, with the largest being about 2.5lbs. All of the fish with the exception of one fell to crankbaits fished in 6 to 8 foot of water. The other fish came on a slow rolled spinner bait. Again all fish were on rocks and windy banks. All in all, not a bad day for cold front conditions and blue bird skies overhead.

Randall and I set out to catch some dinner as we were both in the mood to fry some fish! Put in around noon and fished until 4:30. Our efforts were concentrated in Rudds Creek and Eastland Creek. Fishing Shad Raps and Bomber Flat A’s, we wound up catching 6 lmb’s with the largest around 2 lbs….The perfect size for a fish fry….Most of the fish came on rocky points in 5 to 7 foot of water.
