Pat I wish I knew you were fishing there yesterday. I was out there yesterday too. You did much better than we did though

Were you in  a boat?  And where were you fishing?

As I mentioned in the report, I started off fishing out off Battle Creek...where I almost always do well early in the year.  But I couldn't see anything on sonar and didn't get a sniff in over an hour of moving around.  I also did not get any action around the Bubbleup...where I almost ALWAYS catch something.  And I was about halfway back to the harbor and rehearsing my excuses for a skunk when I finally started getting some action.  Also, I only found fish in a relatively small zone and once I got out of it there were no more bites. 

It's still early.  While I usually get some fish and have caught some of my biggest fish this early, next month (May) is when it gets wild and wooly...white bass, walleyes and catfish galore.  Bring it on.

Yes I have an older Forester boat. White with blue/green on the sides. I think I was there a little later than you though. Tried to get out again this evening but it was pretty wild out there. Ended up fishing from the boat in our Pelican Bay Marina. Marked a bunch of fish in there but nobody wanted to play. Still fun to get out

Well, if you got on the lake after I left that is a perfect example of social distancing.  Seeing fish that won't bite is the single biggest downer for having sonar.  Better to fail in ignorance than to have your failure rubbed in your face.

By the way, how are you coming on maybe making some of your own fligs.  Check out this new red hooked gorilla flig with a blade on the front.  Caught my two biggest cats on it Tuesday.
