63 degrees earlier so I decided to give it a shot and headed for the local reservoir (1.5 miles from the house). Nothing biting so headed to city park lake to try my luck. Tried by the boat ramp with no luck after multiple casts from different locations along the bank. Nothing there either. Headed over to the other lake (about 200 yds away) and started casting. Finally got one . Was using a Tiki Stick Smoke Shad color t-rigged on a 3/0 hook with a 3/16oz bullet above it. Not a big one (15oz), but it was nice to catch one. I had cast out pretty far and during the retrieve I stopped to light a cigarette and that's when he hit. Threw the cig down and brought him in . He's actually a little longer than it looks in the pic. he kept curling his tail away from the phone while trying to take the pic.
