Fish On?

Making plans to get in the morning to go fishing usually works out nicely. 7 am was the time we set on my phone and surprisingly I did get up at that time. One this that has made it easier to get moving was the promis of a burger king breakfast. We should have just turned around after we got in line for the drive through. It turns out the sandwich I went there to get was no longer being sold, this was not a good sign. It took me awhile but I figured out what I wanted and then we were on your way to Beartown. Our goal was to bet there by 8:30 and we were only being a few minutes behind.
The sun was out and it was starting to warm up slowly. After awhile the wind would bring a cold breeze across the lake. We walked around and cast after cast nothing was happening. It seems that the fish aren't interested in anything we're throwing. This year has been very disappointing for bass fishing. So we called it and went to our next destination before going out to the camper.
Punderson was kinda packed with people near the boat ramp. The only spot open at the time was next to the boat ramp. I had brought my boilies and set up my alarm and cast my bait. Every 10 minutes or so a boat would either come in or out, so our bait wouldn't be sitting in one place long enough to attract something. It was annoying to get up and reel in the line, wait for the boat to leave, and cast it back out only to start the cycle over. It was a lot colder out there and once 1 hit we left for the camper.
The camper, like always, was a bust. There were no signs of bass anywhere in the lake, but the crappie population seem to be stable. We couldn't even get the bullheads to bite at night. This year has been rough for fishing everywhere and isn't showing signs of getting better. The weather has been rainy or in the 90's, yet another reason nothing is hitting. The crappie out at the camper all seem to be the same size and only put up a fight if you put the drag almost to 0. It's fun after awhile but knowing nothing else is bitting sucks. They want to try and improve the lake but its not going to show signs of good fishing for years. All the more reason to not want to go.

TL;DR
7 am wakign up in the mornin, no BK breakfast hamlet on sale, beartown's not producing, punderson is all fail, and fishing is not up to scale.

also it's not friday
