Thursday The 14Th

[rps]

Fished the flat points between Panther and Owl Creek this morning. 4 of the 5 fish I caught would have weighed a pound if they all weighed together. The fifth fish was a largemouth, ordinary keeper size.

Worn out from that excitement, I switched to walleye hunting. I tried harness and I trolled cranks. I visited many different depths between 15 and 30. I would tell you where I found them if I had.

Next time will be better.

Are the bluegills still biting?

I have had worse days.

@quillback - I caught bluegills between 18 and 27 feet. They were smaller than those of the last couple weeks.The bass I caught while worm harness fishing were also smallish. I may have been too shallow for the larger fish on the harness. Or maybe they just weren't biting well. It was the day after a storm front and the wind direction was different than the day before - both not among my favorite signs.

@techo - I have had worse days as well, but not usually in mid July. I find early Spring (March) and late August more difficult. For some reason my "experience" on this lake has been misleading me this year. The same was true in 2008.
