So I posted in the thread I posted on Monday that I was going to go park my butt on the pier again this morning after I dropped my wife off at work. I almost went back to bed instead because I didn't sleep all that well last night.
Dropped my wife off at 6am, then decided I didn't want to do what I would've ended up doing today instead had I gone back to bed for a while, so I went fishin. Got to the pier at 6:45am, line in the water at 7am, first fish in the basket by 7:10am. Lake was like glass until the wind picked up around 10ish.
It wasn't a hot and heavy bite by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but it was steady enough to keep me interested even though most bites were pretty light, rod tip barely moved light to be exact, so in a way I guess it was a good thing I was by myself because I wasn't distracted. Was almost 9:30 before someone else showed up and I had some company and by then I had 7 in the basket.
Fished from 7am until I had to leave at 4pm to pick my wife up for 5.
Glad I decided NOT to come home and go back to bed after dropping my wife off. As I've said in the past, "east is least" I'm not sold on that theory. I've had some of my better/best days off that pier when the wind is blowing out of the NE, E or SE. Today was just another example of that.
I ended the day with 3 sheephead, (first 3 of those I caught this year) 3 white perch (they came home and went to a neighbor after I cleaned them. She was happy) and 19 yellows ranging from 7-10 inches. They're cleaned, vac sealed and in the seafood section of my freezer now.
IF my wife and I aren't doing anything Friday, I might go try again. IF we are, it'll be next week sometime before I get down again.
