I had previously stated that since the onset of cold weather was upon us, my EMB™ days were over till next spring. But when I checked the weather yesterday, they were calling for only (only, LOL) a low of 45 last night so I started thinking about giving it another try. The alarm went off at 0400 this morning and the first thing I did was shut it off and then I rolled back over and went back to sleep – but I still woke up early enough to get about 40 minutes of fishing in, and I’m glad I made the drive:
Caught this one on a black, 5-inch Senko, real close to shore. The river is really muddy, so I tried a spinner bait for a while but no takers. It’s supposed to go down to the low 30′s tonight, so I’m really glad I made it out there this morning.
Nice going Nomad!
Thanks Rob
It’ll take more than a bit of cold weather to stop Nomad….nice fish, did you weigh and measure it??
Steve,
Thanks, and no, I didn’t. It had swallowed the hook so I took a few fast pics and then worked on getting the hook out without causing serious injury, which took me a while, longer than I liked so by that time, all I wanted to do was get the fish back in the water.
