I planned to take the canoe out and try my cold water spot. I tried to hit a warmer day that was not too windy. Stupid weather always does a switch up. I got out early because the high tide was at 6:30am. Wind was blowing pretty good and cold.
I was able to get to the protected side and it was not bad. Got the skunk out on about the third cast with a tube.
Then I cast my ned rig in a tree and broke off the tube rig. It took me a while to re-tie. I made a few more casts there, then decided to move. I got around to the back of the cove and got into a school of fish that were happy to eat my little swim bait. Mostly cookie cutter 10-13 inchers. Here are 2 for reference.
I was up to 12 fish by 10:15am, including this 16 inch chunk. I caught that one around the corner on the windy side.
The windy side was too cold, so I moved back to the protected area. The swim bait bite slowed and I got a few bites on a Damiki Stinger on a weedless ned jig. The bait was good, as I was getting fish to bite it, but the hook up ratio was not good because of the diameter of the bait and the stiffness of the plastic. I tried some other stuff, but the bite pretty much shut down when the tide went out, I had landed 14 and lost probably 5 or so up to that point.
I ate my lunch and moved around trying different stuff. I finally worked my way back casting the little 2.8 swimbait and caught one more before taking out a little before 3pm.
Grand total was 15 LM landed and many bites.
I was the the only boat out and enjoyed all the birds, ducks and raptors. A big hawk was a cool sight.

Nice
Caught them when there were hungry
No snakehead appearances?

No snakeheads. Saw something jump and something surface from afar, but not sure what those were. Water level was lower than the last few times I was there at high tide.

You started to lose me at "Wind was blowing pretty good and cold". But good action makes for a good day!
Me thinks snakies are buried deep nowadays.
