    Heading back to Mayo, weather permitting. Been there several times recently with some luck but then again haven't been to Mayo in several years. Yet going to Mayo gives mean excuse to stop on hwy 49 to buy some softball size tomatoes. Would be there today, "Good Friday", but just to old to fight this 20 mph winds with 25-30 mph wind gust.

    Went to mayo and wind did make it difficult. Water was clear. Alot of small bass bedding in the limited areas calm enough to look. Didn't see or catch anything over 4. Was a good trip. For trying new ideas on an old problem.
