070416-BFOTD!! Hey im still glad to break that 8" mark on a slow day
July 4th was really frustrating… just way to many big boats out there to make fishing comfortable or show any level of success. Heavy wave action pounding against the bank soiled the water considerably from shore to 8 FOW.
I ended up tagging a few fish with one just breaking the 8” mark in calmer waters deeper in the cut with the Slip/Float/Fly/Waxie.
I started experiencing some heavy back and leg spasms so I called it quits as soon as things settled…. Maybe too much rocking wave action. Hopefully a few days rest ill be back on the water again.

thanks Jeff,Bruce!...i was forced to go back into the cut and fish the shallows... very few fish left alot of 6" cruisers kept me busy setting the hook for awhile, but very few quality fish.
the problem was so many stationary pontoon boats out near the middle of the lake all the big deep speed boats were restricted to the outside perimeter where i was. it was just something out of the ordinary.

Way to stick it out Slip.......I avoid certain areas because of the same thing.........I'm fortunate to have a few holes that aren't good for general boating and water sports...........

Good fish. Same thing happens around here during the holidays. Too much boat traffic, water skiing, and jet skis. The lakes are for all to enjoy (that's what I tell myself), so I just try going fishing during the week or bad weather.
