Tried fishing creeks initially thinking the water might be a little warmer from the afternoon sun.  Not the case.  Water temps were 57-60 no matter where I was.  Tried shallow grass with weighless rattlesnake.  Got a perch nibble and that's it.  Tried deeper water with c-rig.  No hits.  Finally picked up a 3.5lber on a jig.  Had another pull my trailer off after that.  Fished for a while without a bite.  Started daydreaming or something but wasn't paying attention and missed what looked like another fish appx 5lb range.  Glad to get a little action 4 miles from the house!

Great pic Matt, thanks for the report.

Cool pic Matt.  Nice to find fish so close to home.  Daydreaming is one of my favorite/most successful presentations, that and the backlash: unintentional deadsticking.

my wife does the cell phone texting, dead stick, forget your even fishing tactic. ! works well for her.
