Sorry, no pics as the phone stayed in the vehicle. This cove runs alongside some of the golf course, which the golfers have to drive across, so it's kind of dangerous if you go early, but the last flight is done with that cove around 5pm, so that is when I go fishing. It was dead calm, absolutely glass for water when launching. Paddled to the bridge where the golfers drive over the cove which is too low for a boat. Put on some San Juan worms I'd tied and got into the bluegill that were on the beds. Eating sized but didn't keep any. I want them to breed. Caught one almost keeper bass, and a couple of mystery hits that got off. Got broke off with the fly's so many times on hangups that I ran out, so went to the spinning rod back out into the main cove where it's deeper. Caught several nice crappie that were released in the same spot which I know is the edge of a drop off from prior trips with a sonar on the big boat. Then after about 4 hours on this plastic seat, I was done. Gonna have to take a cushion to sit on next time, so paddled back to the ramp and came home. Plus, the wind changed to the North and it was hard to hold position. I had an anchor and used it, but my posterior area was needing some relief.</blockquote>
