We ended up putting south today to stay out of some of the brutality.

The wind was still horrible, but not so bad that I could not SAFELY fish .

Ended up with 30 today with a decent bag of smallies to boot. All on crankbaits and red eye shad. We did catch a few on shakey head and big football jigs, but most came on cranks or red eye shad.

Had dinner at Timbers, which is a MUST STOP if you're in that area. Worth the drive from Aurora or Cadiz, if you ask me.

A minor bit of bummer though.......I tagged a 10 - 12 pt buck on the trace headed back to Poplar Creek. Not too much damage to my truck, but damage is damage...........

Later,
