4830, Like being home again...

Hit Shelter this morning. First time there in the daytime in almost a month and a half. Launched just after 6:30, first fish at 6:45. Had a limit of spotties plus a short by 9am. All were on the smoke/sparkle Edhog. Plus, I busted off 3 and lost baits to another 4 or 5. Things slowed down for a while and I picked 4 more spotties on Edhogs, a brush bug copy, and the 9" grub (motoroil/ red flake I think) over 2hrs. The last 1/2hr I pulled 2 spotties and 2 sandies. All were on the 9" brown and orange grub. Big fish for the day was in the 2.5 zone. Most were around 1 - 1.5. Nice to have bass thumb again, it's been a few.

Oh yeah, also had one pissed off Sculpin, about 14" of shear terror (I'm rather reactive to their venom). That thing was shaking like a pitbull, but it did stop long enough for me to safely pull the hook and throw it a good 5' away from the tube.

Water wasn't too cold, and when the wind wasn't blowing the air was nice too.
