Comments

The morning was cold and windy. I did not expect to catch much today, and that assumption was correct. The fish activity was non-existent. I did catch one bass and miss one rather large northern.
I was surprised to see many other obsessed fishermen out facing the elements. It was reassuring to see them also dressed for September temperatures in July. I guess I was not the only wimp!
I watched a couple crimson colored deer munch aquatic vegetation. When they discovered they were being watched they departed. They entered the water, swan the slough and exited the other side so effortlessly. Since they were together and obviously had no fawns with them it made me wonder if the fawns fell victim to the coyotes. The ones I had heard earlier in the year.
