Comments

Again the night was cold and overcast. If I was not following the calendar I would have guessed we are in the month of September. The water temperature has fallen ten degrees in the past couple of days.
I did manage to catch enough bluegills for bait, but it was for naught. The flat head action was as fast and furious as the dinner meal in an old folks' home. I never had so much as a tap on my bait. I like summer about as much as wearing a wool sweater next to my bare skin, but we need some warmer weather to improve the fishing,
