The day started with no major plans, but just like the weather things changed. No wait a minute the OFM caused the weather to change. About the middle of the morning he decided it was warm enough for shorts so he changed his long pants out for shorts. He should have thought about that a bit more.  Sure enough by late evening it was chilly, light rain and windy. Nasty by any other measurement. And all this because the thought the warm weather was here to stay. He is just plumb ignorant we think.

We did get out to do some more fishing but that was all we got done most of the day. No catching, no bites, no nothing. For some unknown reason the OFM decided to try his luck at the Market Street pier where seldom is seen any fish much less a good one.

Well he carefully chose a lure and put it on the line. A few casts later it was “fish on”. Yep small letters and lower case. We bet that trout would have trouble measuring 12“ but it was a great fighter. The other new thing that happened is the trout decided to hold still while on it belly for the picture.  Now you can see what a speckled trout looks like when it is in the water.




It was such an unusual occurrence to catch a fish at this location we thought our readers would like to see what the pier looks like. We were standing on the land at the foot of the pier for the fishing and picture taking.




That is about it other than the bitter cold of 48F that we are supposed to have tonight. That bitter cold certainly can get in the way of trying to have tooooo much fun.
