[cool][#0000ff]Met up with fellow tuber/tooners Hnaf and pkred at Lincoln Beach this morning. Launched about 8:30 AM in 25 degree air temp and 38 degree water temp. Water not as muddy as I thought it might be.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Found a bunch of carpinskis stacked up in the shallow cover to the south of the boat dikes. Stretched my string on a few. Kept one for bait and perforated the rest on behalf of the Junies.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Also got into some white bass early. Only four feet of water. Some of them hit like midsummer. Little but fun. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Moved on down the flats toward Benjamin Slough. No hits on worms or minnows. Finally got a couple of white bass on a crawler and had one good chomp and boogie on a minnow. But, the dumb fish dropped it before I could do a lip piercing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Found a few more white bass in 4 feet of water off the inlet of Benjamin slough. But, no toothy munches on anything I threw. Only white bass on small plastics and some of my drop shot flies.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Weather forecast said SE breezes. Actual? A cold north wind starting soon after we got on the water and lasting until we left at 2. Gee. That's never happened before. Destroyed my faith in weather forecasts...again.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Got a few more white bass back in the shallow cove area. So did Hnaf. Pkred caught at least one whitie but he had to leave early so not sure of his tally.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Water temp still only a little under 40 when we left. Still too chilly for much action on wallies or kitties. It will come.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]At least we all caught SOMETHING. No skunk smell today. And the tooners both got to check out some new mods on their rides. All in all a better day on the water than doing almost ANYTHING else.[/#0000ff]
