Jackson and I went to Monticello this morning. Before daylight the flags were standing straight out in the wind, not a good sign.  The lake has come up a bit since I was there last and could stand to come up more. To start off we used the auxiliary trolling  motor, that is, we tied up to a stump, fished around the boat, moved and tied to another stump. We were having no luck when we saw two men circling watching their depthfinder, and then stop and tie up. They then put out the live bait and soon caught a fish. We saw them do that twice. They were finding fish and then catching them. The wind was still blowing a gale at 2:30 so we surrendered, took our zero and came home.
