Russell 7/28

[LongLine]

Well after missing 2 Saturdays, it felt good to be on the water again. Put in early at River & was off Russell in 100 FOW at 5:00(am). Started out cloudy overhead & to the west and somewhat clearer to the East w/ slight SW wind. After sun was up a little, it got real hazy. Couldn’t tell for sure if I was off Long Pond or the river when I pulled out at 11:30, till I got back in to 70 FOW & could see the shoreline.

Anyways, zigzagged out to 270 FOW then back in again, spending some time around 190 FOW. 2 small Kings 90 over 190 on a 28 spook and a volleyball that I gave to neighbor’s kid.

Could not find a stable temp anywhere except the surface, which held around 70 ½. Currents going every which way. Fleas all over the place. Did not mark any bait nor fish. (strange…) There's some major water movement/stirring taking place.

Oh well, it felt good to be on the water again.
