Briar Branch is looking good,  the water has receded slightly from my last visit but still up a bit. Lots of vegetation,  the north end is pretty much choked off. Visibility was around 2 feet. 

Started my day with the realization that I forgot the battery cable for my Autopilot. Ok,  I have a paddle,  let's go old school. Couldn't get my Garmin to powrr up,  whatever. Then I had a fish break off my whopper plopper.  I had another fish break off a chatterbait. I had an eyelet break off of my chatterbait rod.

Somehow in all of this I managed to wrangle in 4 good bass and 1 little guy.  I won't say it was a bad day,  I did enjoy the lake and my time on the water!

I’ve had one of those days too many times to count it seems.  Just got to keep fishing…and bring plenty of tackle.
