February has sucked for a whole host of reasons. I'm quite happy to have it behind me.
Yoda and I hit some Plateau water yesterday. We met a couple guys from MI at the ramp that had fished the past three days without so much as a follow, so our expectations were pretty low… and the "afternoon" drizzle started almost as soon as we got the boat in the water.
Despite the rain, and jumping a bit when ice formations and rocks came loose from overhanging cliff faces

, water clarity was perfect.
It paid off. One in the boat and a few more that should have been -- gotta get better about filing hooks more frequently!


Also broke out a new lunchtime beer -- Ballast Point's Dorado double IPA. Pretty dang good. If you see it, get some.
All in all, not a bad day on the water.
