Cape Fair 3/22

[Dutch]

Got a late start.  Didn’t get to the water until 09:00.  I fished from Cape Fair down to Cainey Creel.  I fished a spinnerbait, a shaky and some cranks.  The only fish came on a crank, both Bandit 300s and Rock Krawlers.   The WW got no love.  I missed a few and lost a few but wound up catching 9.  Most were spots.  Three were keepers.  Some of the spots were heavy with eggs.  There was no rhyme or reason to the location. The lake gave up a fish for about every 1/2 mile of bank.  That’s too many casts for an old fart.  It’s nap time.

 

My hat is off to the guys who did so well over the weekend.

Have you fished Cape Fair since then? Might be down there Friday fishing the cove behind my uncles cabin on Meltons peninsula.

Yes twice.  One trip 16 on crank baits.  The next trip 1 on an Arig.  Not making me want to go back down there right now.

I don’t blame you. Did you happen to throw any swim baits or Ned rig either of those days?

Ned a little.  Swim baits and I are not on speaking terms.

I resemble the swimbait part of this. Took most of mine out of the boat this spring.
