Finally, the wind died down for a day so we could get some kayak fishing in. Thankfully, the water level in the river is a little higher, so the smallmouth bass fishing was a little better than it’s been. The water is still pretty warm and very clear. The hot summer of 2015 continues with more days in the mid nineties and really low humidity. Woke up early to beat the heat(and the afternoon breeze), it was nice and cool to start the day.<\/p>\n

\"Dawn<\/p>\n

There was a bit of wind but it died down as the sun came up. As expected for summer, the smallmouth bass are moving into deeper water and the nooks and crannies of rocky shoreline. I just installed a new fishfinder<\/a>, and wouldn’t you know it, it didn’t work. As a bass fisherman, I don’t use the fishfinder to look for fish, I use it to look for places fish might be. I could have really used it today, so not a good start. More on that later. We did manage to find a few bass, mostly smaller fish, and managed to get one pretty nice fish and one really nice bass. The way the season has been going, it was a pretty good day.<\/p>\n

Next few days could go either way, weather-wise, I might have to get out on the water to test the device reset to the fishfinder. If the reset doesn’t work, I’ll probably have to send it in. Out of the box, turn it on, back in the box for warranty service; welcome to the modern world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
