2nd day of Classic

Oneida Shores Launch

Our starting air temp. was in the mid 40's, and the wind had settled down overnight.  

Fall was in the air

Cold engines and warm water.

The wind stayed down all day so that fishing was a lot easer.

Ron went back to his "honey hole" and started in catching fish again.
