Long version:
Got there at 8 and fished until 12 with nothing but a skunk to show for it. The water was a lot cooler than I anticipated as I launched from Sailboat Cove. I immediately noticed three bass boats working the side of the cove and the rest of the lake quiet. Tossed out an assortment of jigs/ds/split shot and texas rigs for nothing more than keeping my hands busy while kicking around.
Saw two fish come up off the rocky area by the boaters tossing texas rigs..both pretty small. I fished with two boats around me...looked like everyone was struggling for a bite. Packed it up and called it quits at 12...while loading up the car in the lot, one of the boaters was leaving too and talked to me briefly.
They were there for a tournament, only 4 fish weighed...big fish was 3lbs. Looks like the change in weather got the fish lock jaw.
Adding insult to injury: dark meat of the turkey disappeared waaaaaay too quickly. Had to drown my white meat in gravy, cranberry sauce and wine to overcome the lack of artery clogging fat
