Fishing report Friday/Saturday 3/24-3/25

[Stein]

Friday was tough sledding.  Wife was in no rush to get to the lake so after a leisurely breakfast we got on the water around 9:30.  Got about an hour in before the winds really picked up.  Got a couple of short LM and a keeper smallie.  Fished until noon but the wind wasn't worth battling.  With the pending storm we worked around the house and I went and bought a trout boat trailer for the new boat that I'm building (new thread coming soon).  Didn't fish in the afternoon.

Saturday morning went much better.  Hit the water at 7:15 and started hitting smallies on swimbaits in 5-10 feet.  Picked up three 15-16" fish and a couple of shorts.  All smallies.  The swimbait bite died about 10:30 so moved out on the points to 20-30 ft.with jig/craw.  Picked up another 16" fish and then a 19"er.

Went in around noon.  Back out at 4 and caught a couple shorts and another 15" smallie.  Thus far my wife hadn't boated a fish todyay so we dove into a couple of shallow cuts and she finally connected on a short smallie.  All Friday's fish were on main lake points from mile 6-8.

My only non-smallie was a short LM in the cut.  Otherwise all were small mouth, which surprised me.  Not a spot in the bunch.  Probably 10 fish today.

Looking forward to getting back down for striper fishing in two weeks.
