Hey Pat, it was a fun outing and the sun seemed to clear the roads pretty well during the day. Here's a pic from the ride home.
Do you have any advice on how to feel the bottom better? I think that is why I have such a tough time catching whitefish. When I was sure I was on bottom was when I'd get fish, but I really was having a hard time feeling the bottom through my poles. I'm wondering if a different pole would be better? I did go to a 1/4 oz jig head later in the day and it seemed to be a little better for me to get down and stay to the bottom longer.
My batch of smoked whitefish from last week will be gone today, just in time for the new batch to start. Good stuff, I have a lot of friends that want a taste and I hope this batch will cover them and leave me some to enjoy. I really like seeing how much others like that smoked fish. Kind of like being the candy man.
Well if you make another trip, good luck. I kind of wonder if second point was fishing better yesterday. A boat that looked like local regulars bounced through Cisco and kept moving every half hour, but when they got down south they stuck there for quite a while, but my eyes couldn't see if they were pulling in fish or not. Anyway good luck. J
