I got the day off for my typical birthday fishing trip.  Unfortunately, the seas were pretty rough and the winds were supposed to blow over 20 knots by noon.  This just meant that I was bay fishing...
I couldn't set the boat up the night before because of the rain/sleet/hail that was happening almost all evening.



Steve had the day off and brought the SNBF-XII shirts down, so I'll start packing them for shipment this weekend.  In the meantime, I got up early and cleared off all the frozen stuff from the tarp and prepped the boat.



We got down to the bay with not a single trailer at the ramp.  Our first stop produced 30 bass in a little over an hour.  The cool thing was 95% of the bass were decent sized bass and not pee-pee bass you usually get back there.



We made a few moves just for the hell of it and continued catching nice grade of bass.  Most were in the 11"-13" range.  Even the small ones were bigger than what we usually find out here.



Steve finally gets on the board with a flatty!  Probably 18-19" fish, but good to know they are there!



We tried a few other spots and kept getting the numbers on the clicker to go up.





We finally called it quits as I wanted to be done by 12:30 so i could enjoy the rest of my day.  We could of hit 100, but stopped at 94 since time ran out first.

It was a fun Birthday Trip and well worth it as plan B was to trout fish Lake Jennings... That's 94 more fish than we would have caught there.  LOL



Thanks for reading and until next tide!
