    Report: Took the Skeeter Sleigh to McClure, to see i there was a big ish under the water or me, But I must have been naughty, instead o nice. I only got 3 bites two slot ish and one large mouth that weighed 2.0. I started about 8:30 and loaded up at 2:15 so I didn't make a long day o it. They came 22 eet, 29 eet and 42 eet. The bait ish are harder to ind right now and water temperature is the same down to atleast 50 eet. The bass can be at any depth and still be in the same comort zone.
