We left about 4:30. It never really totally died off, especially not for Mike. In hindsight I should have gone to a smaller jig. As we were getting ready to go, in desperation, I put a whole nightcrawler on a Paddle Bug, and I will be darned if I didn't catch a fish on it just before we left.
So you heard me drilling holes during the day? If you would have come around where we were fishing I would have gladly either drilled you some holes, or let you borrow the auger. Having a power auger is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is obvious, but the curse is that I am always tempted with "The greener grass theory", meaning if I drill a hole either deeper or shallower, surely there will be more fish in the new hole than the one I am fishing in already! It is extremely easy to give into that temptation with a power auger.
