Made another trip to Canyon Lake on Sunday (28Jan07).   We got to the lake right at noon and noticed that there was a little wind.  This was my first experience launching the boat without another adult along to help manage the truck and trailer while I handle the boat.  With the added wind this was a little nerve racking but we successfully loaded and unloaded with minimal damage.  Fishing was tough on this date and we did not get any solid bites.  I had some trouble with one of my reels that I had rigged up with a DD22 Red Ear.  The DD22 is a fairly large crank bait and I needed to have my spool break set a little tighter and then loosen from there until I got the distance I needed.  On my first cast I really wadded up my reel and spent a good amount of time wrestling with the wind while trying to fix the rats nest.  I finally got it fixed but no bites on the Red Ear.  Later I tried a green pumkin Baby Brush Hog and then a regular sized Brush Hog of similar color - neither produced a strike.  I also tried a green tube with orange flake in the closing 45 minutes of our trip.  After 5 hours of fishing in the wind, the trolling motor batteries were beginning to play out so we called it a day.   Not a lot of fish action on this trip but the three of us had a great time.  We are keeping a separate paper journal of our travels that have a number of diagrams and stories, may try to get some of these posted as well.
