Lake Jordan - Thursday, 3/30

[CoachKinsey]

Since I have the week off for spring break (teachers need a break, too) ... and I have my honey-do list caught up, I took the day and fished at Lake Jordan. I put in at Farrington Point at about 11:30 and stayed on the water for about 3 hours. Saw several breaking fish in the shallows but could not convince them to get in the 'yak with me. (Yes, Lefty, I caught some sticks.) Fishing-wise, the day was a bust.

On the other hand, I would have sold my Prowler 15 today for a faster boat. I thoroughly enjoyed just paddling out to Bush Creek and exploring the edges and feeders dumping into the lake. Saw egrets, buzzards, a red-tail hawk and some shore-bound wildlife. I could not have asked for a more beautiful day.

Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow in Wilmington or Saturday near Charlotte. If not, it will still be a good day on the water.
