It was cold temp was 23 degrees no wind but we had icicles on the guides after reeling them in the first time. Joe Joe couldn't make it he had a prior engagement with a Girlfriend and a birthday party. "She's not my girlfriend dad, she's just a friend." LOL He thought there was a chance dad wasn't gonna make it back in time for him to make the party. Had Seth and the Drew man as my crew. Called it a day around noon.

So I didn't get a video this time but have a couple pics. Went to Bass Pro and picked up a couple lures on Saturday and got ready for Sunday. Was on the water at 7 started trolling Miller & Cleghorn, & immediately hooked up on something with some weight. Handed it over to my boy he got it about half way in and the line went slack. Not sure what happened , lure was there but the fish was gone. Kept trolling around, & fishing was hard. There was fish on the meter and then they all disappeared. Kept it up and wound up with the Large mouth my cousin is holding, and 1 striper for the day. At least the crew got to tug on a couple fish. Just gonna try even harder the next time. Lost 1 of the new lures I bought 12$ to the bottom of the lake, messed up and went into shallower water than I should have and didn't reel the damn thing up before I got there. Thought it was gonna clear, I WAS WRONG. Water temp was 46 and it was steaming in the 23 degrees, trolling right at 2.5 mph, 30 -35' deep.
