Good day at Lincoln today. The light wind was cold but tolerable for fishin'. Arrived at 6:00; channel depth was 3.5 ft. deep, water temp was 63 and warmed to 65 at 11:00 departure. About 10 trailers in the parking lot when I left; a few bank tanglers along the channel berm.
I caught 12-15 cats, all cutters except for one 29 incher and a 27 incher. I used white bass for bait. I fished most of the time in the springs area in water varying from 3 to 8 ft. deep and caught most of my fish in deeper water. Richard and Vi were out today and they took the time to swing by and say hello. Good to see them on the water.
I talked to one boater who had just pulled his boat from the water. He was examining his rather chewed up prop and when I stopped to chat with him I said, "Lemme guess... Bird Island?" Yup. First time out there and he got the all too common introduction. Nice family guy with a nice boat. Sure hope his prop can be salvaged.
It should be good fishin' this week but probably best to get in and out before the heat becomes unbearable. Might be a good time for some night fishing, too. No midge swarms observed yet?? Seems like they are always splattering my windshield by this time of the year. Soon.
Bigger fish coming.
