Cold day with the high of 45 degrees and the water temp 47 degrees. Threw a rattle trap over rocky points in less than 10 feet. Caught two with the lunker over 4lbs. Funny, didn’t seem so cold then 😀.

Went out for a couple of hours today before the next cold snap in Virginia. Forced a smile when my buddy caught the lunker of the day 😀

Did some research the night before with my Lowrance app to locate points, contours and depth I wanted to fish. Our area had its first rain in over 3 weeks. Start of the day was 45 degrees and the rain stayed longer than forecasted. (Questioned why I was out in the weather).
Rain stopped around 1pm and sun came out with the wind picking up. Water temperature was 46 degrees and the air temperature was rising. Caught three nice bass on a crankbait in the next two hours. Bouncing it off of rock and wood laydowns in 5 to 10 of water with deeper water nearby.
Love it when a plan comes together!
