There was a drastic change in the weather the last 24 hours. At sunrise yesterday it was sunny and humid and about 85°. Midday the rain started and by evening the temperature dropped to the 60°s. This morning the blue sky and sun was back but it was a mere 57°. Let’s just say, Dan, Pat and I enjoyed our coffee at the cottage rather than out on the water.
We had ok fishing. No doubt the cold front slowed the warmwater species feeding habits. We landed several nice bluegill, one pickerel and I lucked into this beautiful fat 17” largemouth. But all in all, it was not even close to that fishing frenzy we enjoyed early yesterday.
My boys have busy live these days. I could have easily fished all day. I wanted to take them over to Winnipesaukee to play with my smallmouth but Dan really had to get home to family stuff. Patrick was willing to go with the flow but when Dan had to run he decided there was plenty to do on his home front as well. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful 36 hours with old friends and I’m’ certain we have started a new annual fishing event.
