My neighbor and I went back to our favorite smallmouth area on Stockton Lake today.  There was a pretty good northwest wind when we launched.  Our first place gave up only 2 one of which was a keeper.  The second spot is rocks and ledges running for at least 1/2 mile it 11.  After that it was move to the side of the lake where the wind was hitting.  We fished rocky banks, coves and points until after about 6 hour on the trolling motor I called the dogs and ended the trip.  
 

There were 2-3’ rollers hitting us all day.  When they were broadside I wanted a seat belt.  It was a constant battle to keep the boat away from the bank.  We had a bumpy 4 mile ride into the wind back to the truck.  We wound up catching 47 bass with 7 keepers.  The bait of the day was a green pumpkin trd rigged with a 1/16 or 3/32 weedless Ned head.

 

Right now I am trying to relax with an adult beverage in my recliner.

Great day! Fishing plus beverage in the recliner, can’t ask for much more 

Sounds like you earned those bass and that beverage!

47 bass in a stiff wind takes some doing.Good job!

Think I’ll have a drink… oh wait 😆
