Tough Day Part 2
Well after a tough start I went to my old stomping grounds. Hit the right shore hard with lighter winds allowing for a soft plastic presentation which is usually money if the fish have spawned or are spawning. Well not today lol.
The wind began to pick up a bit and I found myself hung up on a dock or two. I also managed a tree or two lol. This is getting expensive lol.
Got out of the wind and missed my first and only hit of the day here on a Berkley slug.
Tried all my known spawn spots and even off shore but nothing from top to bottom of the water column. Could chart fish but no takers. I saw no beds of any kind either.
The wind was whipping now and I took a wave over the side of the canoe that freaked me out. Got to the fish ladder and still nothing had to be home by 2pm so I made the run in and while it usually takes 10-15 min it took 35min with my 55lbs motor pinned on 5 yikes. I smell burning and the contacts are getting so hot my transom is getting burnt then my hat flies off. I was able to do one productive thing here today and it was retrieving my favorite hat via rod reel and lure .
Off the water by 140pm wind burnt tired and a bit frustrated.
Next time I will pay more attention to the weather and pick bodies of water that have cover from the wind lol.
Sounds like a day where you could have tried the float and fly method. Set your lure to the depth of the fish and let the waves and the bobber/float do the work.
