Weed Wacking Monks

[Fred E. Goose]

Dropped the boat in for a little bit just to get my paddle wet. 3pm to 5:20pm yesterday (Monday). Had one largemouth on in the weeds, but she got herself hung up in those weeds and escaped. T'was ashame because she was a beefy babe. Potentially my largest of the year, but they all look bigger in the water don't they? Finished out with one sunny when I downsized my lure towards the end. A couple cormorants were pretty much doing backflips out there. Saw one dead snake floating in the weeds. Saw a large school of bait with nothing chasing them. Looked like minnows, not herring. Saw a small school of 8-10 inch bass (5-6 of them) pass by. Water was a little murky compared to my last couple trips there. Tough fishing and limited time, but it was too nice a day to pass up.
