Sunday Report

I ran up to the same area today as I fished on Friday. This morning the wind was from the North instead of the South, the water temp was two degrees higher, and the good fish I found Friday were not anywhere near where they were. I did catch a few dinks, but saw no evidence of decent fish on the flats. The fish busting shad on top were scattered and out in the channel. I've yet to master that pattern.

I switched to fishing bluff ends and wound up with eight or ten topwater fish that included two squeaker keepers ( they measure 15 if you pinch the tail). I switched to a C-rig fish doctor in green pumpkin. I fished all depths from 10 to 30 feet. I tried pea gravel and mixed rock. I caught maybe ten fish, but not a one of them was any size.

I trolled home from Big M to Holiday Island - well not the whole way - and managed another handful of small spots, one big crappie, and one keeper walleye. The walleye was 18 feet deep in 25 feet of brushy water.

On the way home I saw more than one example of idiocy on the water. Be careful out there.
