Aaaa man, nice day today at Lincoln. Got there about 5:45 and watched daylight creep over the mountains. Nice sliver of moon perched on top of Mt. Loafer and the silence broken only by the profanity spewing forth from the Canadian geese. Doesn't get any better.
Water is slowly creeping up the launch ramp. No trouble launching my boat. Mr. Mink is there every day and he is oblivious to the ugly dude floating by in the big boat. Yesterday he was lugging a big channel cat that was twice as long as he was toward his residence under a slab of discarded cement on the north arm. Today he was dragging a catfish head homeward. Also saw a couple of muskrats in the channel... probably Mr. Mink's emergency food supply.
I moved in close to the shore in front of the orchards --probably about two feet deep -- to see if I could pick up a couple of wb... I did. I was throwing a RCK jig for the wb when I hooked into something terrible... a big two foot channel. I was using my light pole and reel and man did we have a ruckus. I was drag-ready for him but not ready for his defensive moves in that shallow water. He was under the boat, around the electric, and a rap or two around the prop. I won. Fun and I did not lose my RCK.
Water temp has gone up a couple of degrees every day this week so when you get back down this way those mid-60's water temp will be upon us. Good timing. Good luck at Willard with Pisco.
