last few trips

[Norm M]

river dropping, still above normal flow, clearing. water temp up to 42 degrees from 41 degrees yesterday . completely over cast and fog all day .

decided to do some creek hopping , looking for bass and walleye . the mouths of the creeks were all busto, the point bars and point pools were another matter .

I fished with suspending rogues and jointed floating rapalas , figuring it was a good way to attract either species . I managed three smallmouth but exceeded expectations with 12 walleye the biggest three between 25 and 28 inches.

early on at the first point bar I got two fish on the upstream side, there after all fish came off the downstream side. all fish were caught in less than 2 feet of water and left no mistake it was a hit.
I figure the fog and the overcast cast skies had something to do with how shallow they were . the only downside was that after 4 fish and usually 2 fish caught they shut down. the upside was that I ran the spots in reverse order on the way back and they would hit again .

on a couple earlier trips, at least the ones I actually caught fish it was a rattlebait on the current seam for smallmouth bass .

unseasonably warm weather continuing and I continue to take advantage of not have ice clinging to my beard with screaming agony .
