Out early, met my buddy for a fishing trip on the North Fork of the Holston River in SW Va. At the put in by 8:00 am..the later low and clear with an air temp around 55*. Saw lots of wildlife, deer, otter, ducks. In the water at 8 out about 3:30..I ended up catching 16 fish, 4 of those in the 2-3# class. About 6 of the fish were small mouth bass, the rest were bluegill and Rock bass(red-eye in this area)I missed maybe 10 fish. All the fish were striking short for some reason, maybe the cool temperatures? My buddy ended up with 25 fish. He probably had 6 small mouth in the 2-3# class. We had a good time. I had not fished with him in years so it was nice to reconnect with him.
Home, washed clothes, turned the dishwasher on, finished off the pulled pork with a big salad, my sis came by and we hung the remaining pictures up in the guest bedroom. Watched Biggest loser while attempting to shred my abs again.
Nights here for me are starting to get lonely and I don't really know what to do to combat that loneliness. It's not in my bed alone loneliness, but the loneliness up until bedtime that is hitting me and I really don't have a clue what to do about it.
Back to the grind tomorrow.
