Got up early this morning to run down to the pier and watch the tournament fishermen head out. The weatherman did his job and offered up a nice morning after the blow yesterday.
It's 5:30am and the exodus begins.
15 minutes later the channel fills with boats heading to the lake.
And if a hundred plus fishermen in the channel isn't enough, let's throw in a 410 foot long ferry boat.
Eventually, everyone got into the lake to wait for the 6:00am tournament start.
It's 6:00am...and they're off.
Mean while, back at the ranch. Since I was up at this early hour, might as well go see if I can catch something in PM Lake and enjoy the morning.
I fished a couple of my normal unproductive spots and decided to motor back up the lake.
It's a fun 20mph ride in what is essentially a 10' innertube.
In the back end of the lake, I encountered a doe and fawn walking along the reeds near the shore.
Fishing wasn't any good, so I went back to the boat where Kathy arrived shortly after and took up her usual post on the back deck.
I don't expect to fish again before later tomorrow at the soonest so I have the camper top up for her. She likes the shade.
The afternoon and evening agenda is open. I'm feeling a nap coming on. Good news is that the heat and huimidity of the past few days is gone. It's real pleasant now.
