Left the dock later than I planned but was in no rush, especially with the chill in the air. Plans got derailed a bit early on when a call came out over the radio about someone in the water in the canal.

Got setup in the spot we caught on Thursday…I was very skeptical due to the drop in water temps. I thought my transducers were wrong but when I double checked with the thermal gun-I was shocked. Temps were down to 35.3.

I waited out the change in tide, figured since the action was very slow to none I would straighten out the pilothouse and put away a crate of tackle I brought down. Once I was done with that I worked the rods for a little while, had two nibbles, and the slime and salad started to pick up.

Water temps rose to a balmy 37 on the beginning of the outgoing and with no increase in action I decided to head in and get some work done on the boat. Water temps at 4 PM at the slip only rose a bit more to 39.1.

This weekend should be a whole lot better with the warmer weather returning again.
