Sunday 9/14/14, The Alley, 6:30 - 10:00, overcast, light wind SE, water level up from last week, water temp88*, water lightly stain.

 

Tried to get someone to join me, but everyone already had plans.  Went solo with Pandora, west of the river, and decided to work on my frog bite.  Threw my target hollow body for almost an hour.  Moved the boat tight to the pad field and threw parallel to the weed line, but way back in the pads.  The frog stirred up a few swirls but no takers.  I slowed the frog and no takers and finally went to warp speed and no takers.  The only action at all was with a steady slow speed, keeping the frog hopping through the pads.  Went to a spinnerbait with no takers, and finally a senko with a fish almost immediately.  Finished the day with 9 senko bass and a mudfish.  Not as big as last week, but a tug on the line always feels good.   I always enjoy fishing with a partner more then a solo, to me its about sharing the experience.

Too bad you had to go solo. I don't like hearing the water is higher. But that's the way the cycle is in the Glades this time of year. The rain this week definitely didn't help.
