Fishing today was extremely difficult, the weather by the lake was unusually cold. At 57 degrees Farenheit, the wind chill factor was a great dis-incentive to be out there in the first place. I found that by fishing very close to shore and of course extending the length of line between the floater and the hook itself, a certain niche of fish could be caught. That breed being the carnivorous sunfish that dwells near the waters under trees. Sunfish are stunning creatures, embellished with a beautiful red/orange mark on their stomach. Using this strategy I was able to capture two medium sized sunfish, not very impressive but enough for a nice dinner and definitely a pleasure to behold.
Around 6:30 pm the weather became very unfavorable, storm clouds were overhead, there was a splattering of rain, and the temperature dipped below 50 degrees. Under those conditions, I decided to take what I've won and head back home.
