With the cold front coming in this afternoon. We thought it might be a good day to hit Winchester. Sometimes the approaching cold front puts the feed bag on the bruisers. Well not today. One word "tough"! Water surface temp was 78ºF and was stained. Barely could see bottom in 5ft of water. Hot and humid as we roasted in the sun. Started in the back hitting the stumps with jigs and spinnerbaits with no takers. Tried some of the lily pads with small worms. Got a couple of bites, but no hook ups. Next tried medium cranks in the middle of the lake with only a couple small fish. Managed to stir up a few bits tight to the banks, But nothing over 2 lbs. At least we didn't get a skunk in the boat! Now for the fun part. Tried leaving as the thunderstorm was rolling in and had to deal with people thinking it was fine to park at the boat ramp and others thinking its a beach. We asked them to move, And you'd think I was asking them for something special. I just pointed to the no parking sign's! One called me a red neck and said a real man could jockey a trailer! I did chuckle at that one, And said come on and try it(no takers!). I can deal with a slow day on the water. But having to deal with people that just don't get it tick's me off! Seems every time we hit Winchester something like this happens! Next time I'll call the locals and have them deal with these idiots. Bet paying a parking ticket will change their attitudes some? Probably not! Just made it home as the rain started.

yea thats very true, a ticket should show them how to think a little. last time i went there the parking was packed with 4 cars and it was almost impossible for the guy after us to put his trailer in the water because he had a big bass boat, only 1 person moved.
