Big G report 4-16-2006

I fished this morning from first light until almost 10:00. Our local weathermen need to be shot ... they predicted winds around 10 mph for the day .... but we actually had a wind advisory with winds gusting to 30 mph. A seven minute early morning boat ride from the ramp turned into a 30 minute bone jarring ride back to the ramp because of 3 foot swells. I arrived at the ramp looking like I just stepped out of the shower with my clothes on.
I managed to catch 9 bass which included 3 dinks and 2 short fish in 3-6 feet of water with stumps on a weightless Yum Dinger. My largest fish was just short of 5 pounds, with a best legal 4 fish limit weighing about 12 1/2 pounds. All legal fish that I caught (on the lower end of the lake) were post-spawn.
